First appearing on AGT in 2019, the Mumbai-based troupe of 28 dancers wowed Judges with a heart-stopping Audition. Members aged 12 to 27 were thrown into the air, performing balancing acts and a perfectly synchronized routine accompanied by upbeat drums and cultural music.
The group later earned the highly sought-after Golden Buzzer by NBA All-Star and AGT guest Judge Dwyane Wade.
V. Unbeatable pulled on the Judges’ heartstrings when describing their “challenging” living situation in the overpopulated slums of Mumbai. There, the dancers lived without clean water and electricity, with as many as seven to 10 people living in cramped one-room quarters.

“Each day, we pray for a better life,” one of the dancers told AGT producers. “But in the slums, there is very little opportunity for us.”
On top of living in impoverished conditions, the dancers faced a tragic setback when the group’s co-founder, Vikas Gupta, suffered a fatal spinal injury in 2015 during a dance practice, according to The Khaleej Times. V. Unbeatable’s uniforms commonly include the word “Vikas” on the backs of their uniforms to pay tribute.
