Following the auditions, a group of contestants travel to different destinations and participate in various tasks that challenge their physical, social and mental strength.

Overview

History

The Roadies format was created by Nikhil J. Alva, founder of Miditech Studios, which produced the first two seasons of the show. Initially, Alva conceptualized Roadies as a platform to unite Indian youth through social work and acts of kindness while traveling across India.^[1][2]

As the show's popularity grew, MTV took over the production from Miditech after the second season. Former Miditech employees Raghu Ram and Rajiv Ram were brought in to present the show. Under their guidance, Roadies shifted from its original social-oriented concept to a more intense and confrontational format. They continued with the show until the eleventh season, after which they exited.^[3] In an interview, Raghu and Rajiv stated that they had done enough to popularize the show and wanted to give the new generation a chance to take it forward.

Roadies is one of India's longest-running reality shows.^[4]

Format

The first two seasons had a daily budget cap for contestants, encouraging them to experience India's diversity while completing various tasks. However, after MTV took over in the third season, the show adopted a more competitive and aggressive format.

From the fourth season, a new segment was introduced to select wild card contestants, Battleground (2006-2009, 2014–present) and Graveyard (2010-2011, 2013-2014).

In the fifth season, advantage tasks were introduced, allowing winners to gain benefits during vote-outs (e.g., multiple votes or sole voting power). It was also the first season where Roadies traveled international during journeys.^[5]

The tenth season featured a mentor-based competition, where a team of ex-contestants led by Raghu Ram competed against a team of new contestants mentored by Rannvijay Singha.^[6]

In the twelfth season, the format was revamped with the introduction of gang leaders.^[7]

The eighteenth season introduced a "buddy pairs" format, where ex-roadies and new contestants competed. It also marked the return of bikes, which had been a key feature in earlier seasons. Additionally, this was the first season without Rannvijay Singha.

Each season follows a theme and includes various twists, vote-outs, and eliminations. The contestant who survives all challenges and vote-outs is ultimately crowned the Ultimate Roadie in the finale.
