Ankiti Bose Revealed As Next Guest Judge On ‘The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition’

The largest global sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship, has revealed the latest guest judge for The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition.

Zilingo Co-Founder and CEO Ankiti Bose will join ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong as one of the 12 guest CEOs on the show. Bose is the second guest CEO to join the show after ONE announced last week that Catcha Group Co-Founder and CEO Patrick Grove would be the first.

The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition will feature 16 handpicked contestants from around the world who will compete in a high-stakes game of business and physical challenges. The winner will receive a US$250,000 job offer to work under Sityodtong as his protégé at ONE’s global headquarters in Singapore.

As a guest CEO, Bose will help Sityodtong judge and mentor the contestants on the reality show that will air later this year.

Bose started her career as a Management Consultant with McKinsey & Company before she moved to venture capital firm Sequoia Capital. At just 23 years old, she raised over US$300,000,000 and created one of the largest B2B commerce businesses in Asia – Zilingo – in 2015.

Sityodtong believes Bose’s entrepreneurial experience and passion for mentoring will make her an excellent judge.

“It is my honor to announce that Ankiti Bose, co-Founder and CEO of Zilingo, has been confirmed as one of the 12 guest CEOs on The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition,” Sityodtong said.

“Ankiti is a truly inspiring young woman who was able to convert her dream into reality. Her business acumen is absolutely incredible, and I have no doubt she will be a huge inspiration for our 16 contestants. I am excited to have Ankiti on the show.”

Bose was excited about her new role and the opportunity to work alongside Sityodtong.

“I am thrilled to join Chatri on the show,” Bose said. “It will be one of the most exhilarating experiences for the contestants and we look forward to discovering some of the brightest minds among them.”
