About JSW Ventures
JSW Ventures is an early-stage institutional venture capital fund. Since its inception in 2016, the fund has focused on partnering with visionary entrepreneurs who are building technology-led, scalable businesses across India. With investments spanning pre-Series A to Series A+ stages, JSW Ventures brings more than just capital to the table—offering strategic guidance, operational support, and access to the broader JSW Group ecosystem. By combining institutional discipline with the agility of a startup partner, JSW Ventures is committed to fueling India’s next wave of category-defining companies.
Our journey
JSW Ventures began its journey in 2016 with the launch of Fund I, a $10 million fund sponsored exclusively by the JSW Family Office. Following the strong performance of Fund I, we raised a $40 million Fund II in 2020 — a multi-LP fund — marking our transition to a broader institutional fund structure. We are currently investing out of Fund II, continuing our commitment to backing early-stage companies that are building innovative, scalable solutions for India and beyond.

Who are we
We invest in high-potential consumer and technology-driven companies that are building innovative, scalable solutions tailored for the evolving Indian and global landscape. Our thesis is rooted in the belief that India’s demographic dividend, rising consumption patterns, increasing digital penetration, and rapid technological adoption, presents a unique opportunity to create category-defining businesses. We particularly focus on driving the transition from unorganized to organized sectors—helping traditional industries formalize and modernize through tech-powered platforms and processes. We back founders who are not only addressing large domestic markets but are also building globally relevant solutions with the potential to scale beyond borders.
Our advantage
At JSW Ventures, we aim to build long-term, strategic partnerships with our portfolio companies—going well beyond capital infusion. We actively support founders in scaling their businesses by providing hands-on guidance across critical areas such as developing robust growth strategies, refining financial and operational processes, and shaping product roadmaps aligned with market demands. Our team works closely with entrepreneurs to unlock new opportunities, optimize business models, and navigate key inflection points in their journey. By leveraging our institutional expertise and access to the broader JSW Group ecosystem, we help startups build a strong foundation for sustainable growth and long-term success.
