Rannvijay Singha has sat on both sides of the Roadies table. He won the very first season in 2003, and in the years since he has been the host, auditions judge and gang leader who decides how the show sounds. When Roadies Rebirth premieres on 16 October 2026, he is back as host for the 21st season.
The show is only part of a career that also includes MTV Splitsvilla, Shark Tank India and acting. His name is spelled in several ways, Rannvijay Singh Singha being the full form, and searches also use Ranvijay Singha. This profile covers the winner who stayed on to run the franchise.

Shark Tank India and acting
He hosted the first season of Shark Tank India in 2021 to 2022, saying at the time he was an ardent fan of the global version.
