Over the course of the series so far, there have been record-breaking sales, intense boardroom firings and plenty of scenes of the candidates running up and down the streets selling things to the public.

The series returned last month, with 18 entrepreneurs hoping to become Lord Sugar’s next business partner, and amongst those is Virdi Singh Mazaria.

This week, the candidates will be sent to Budapest where they must run and sell tours to the public, avoiding refunds along the way – but will Virdi be on the winning or losing team?

Does Virdi have what it takes to make it to the final on The Apprentice? Read on for everything you need to know about him.

Job: Music producer

Music producer Virdi Singh Mazaria wants to introduce Lord Sugar to a lucrative industry that he's yet to invest in - music.

With his background as both an auditor and a producer, Virdi has high hopes for his time in the boardroom.

One of his most notable achievements in business is producing a track for Sidhu Moose Wala, a prominent figure in the Punjabi music scene. As well as this, Virdi has DJ'd worldwide since he was 18 years old.

As for his biggest failure in business, he believes this led to his success. "A month before COVID, I left my job as an auditor for the big four to take my music full time," he explained.

As for why he deserves Lord Sugar's investment, Virdi believes he brings more than just entrepreneurship to the table.

He continued: "I am a creator of unmatched experiences, a performer. My ambition is relentless, setting me apart in the fast-paced world of business.

"With Lord Sugar as my business partner, I am ready to step into a realm of remarkable success."
