Falcons of Majlis introduced seven UAE startup investors during a high-profile Dubai launch focused on mentorship, funding and entrepreneurship.

DUBAI: Falcons of Majlis, a new UAE-based startup funding series created by NKN Media, officially launched in Dubai with a star-studded event introducing seven leading investors who will mentor and support emerging entrepreneurs across the region. Held at One and Only One Za’abeel, the event brought together business leaders, media personalities and startup ecosystem stakeholders for the first public unveiling of the Falcons panel.

The Falcons of Majlis initiative aims to provide founders with direct access to investors, mentorship and national visibility through a structured investment-focused television format. Organisers said the platform reflects the UAE’s growing status as a regional hub for startups, innovation and venture capital.

Indian journalist Anjana Om Kashyap hosted the launch event, while Bollywood actress Chitrangada Singh was announced as the face of the series. Actor and entrepreneur Suniel Shetty will serve as mentor and Majlis Authority, helping founders prepare for investor meetings and business evaluations throughout the programme.

The seven Falcons introduced during the launch include investors and business leaders from sectors including venture capital, real estate, legal advisory, infrastructure and technology. Organisers said the panel was selected to offer entrepreneurs a combination of funding expertise, operational experience and strategic guidance.

According to the organisers, Falcons of Majlis is designed around the traditional concept of the Majlis, emphasising mentorship, access and relationship-building rather than entertainment-driven investment pitches. The programme will feature founder stories, investor evaluations and private funding discussions across multiple stages.

Season One will focus on startups building solutions for emerging regional challenges, with episodes expected to air on India Today and Aaj Tak. Startup applications are now open for UAE-focused entrepreneurs seeking investment opportunities and broader exposure.

Officials said the Falcons of Majlis platform aims to strengthen founder confidence, expand investor access and support the UAE’s rapidly growing startup ecosystem through structured mentorship and funding opportunities.
