Following the conclusion of the previous season, Colors announced that the show would return for a seventh season with the same judging panel. Bharti Singh and Siddharth Shukla, who hosted the latter half of the previous season, would continue as hosts.

Once again, the logo was used somewhat similar to the America's Got Talent, instead of the regular Britain's Got Talent styled.

There were no major changes to the format of the show. The semi-finals were reduced to three rounds, with a separate one for the golden buzzer auditions. Three contestants from each semi-final would advance to the finals: one chosen by unanimous judges' choice among all the participants of that semi-final, and two by public vote. The results for each semi-final were announced the same way as in season six, with the judges' choice revealed the same day, and the public vote winners announced during the pre-final.

The golden buzzer returned for its third season. The judges were given two golden buzzers this season, unlike the previous one where they were given only one. However, Kirron Kher pressed her third golden buzzer for the Brijwasi Brothers during the final auditions. The following table shows the acts which received the golden buzzer in the audition:
