The CEO of vitamin supplements company Vitabiotics, Tej Lalwani has been signed up by the BBC as a 'Dragon' on its business show 'Dragons' Den'. Hosted by Evan Davis, the show features entrepreneurs who can pitch their business ideas to five multi-millionaires.
Lalwani has replaced Steve Parish, who quit the show following a short-stint owing to his commitments with the Crystal Palace Football Club. “On reflection, I have come to the conclusion that I couldn't give 'Dragons' Den' the time and commitment the show needs and that the entrepreneurs deserve, therefore I have decided to give up my Dragons' seat to someone else,” Parish said. Lalwani who will take his place for the 15th series, will share it along with returning Dragons Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, and new Dragon Jenny Campbell.
“I'm very excited to be joining the 'Dragons' Den' line-up. I'm a shrewd investor and I'm looking forward to finding hard working, passionate people to share my business experience and knowledge with,” Lalwani said. His company Vitabiotics has seen to have expanded under his leadership and currently sells products in over 100 countries worldwide.
