Jungle Ventures was founded in 2012 by Amit Anand and Anurag Srivastava with a modest $10 million debut fund, built on a specific cross-border thesis: treating Southeast Asia and India as a single connected market rather than two separate regions, and backing founders building companies durable enough to become category leaders across both. That patient, 'Build to Last' philosophy grew the firm's assets under management roughly 100-fold over a decade, and in 2022 Jungle became the first independent Singapore-headquartered venture firm investing across Southeast Asia and India to cross $1 billion in AUM. The firm's portfolio of 50-plus companies has produced an enterprise value exceeding $12 billion on just $250 million of invested capital, with a loss ratio under 5%, and includes four unicorns - Livspace, Kredivo, Moglix, and Builder.ai - alongside earlier exits like Zipdial (to Twitter) and TradeGecko (to Intuit).
No single dollar-verified signature exit - Amit Anand has personally led three real exits (Zipdial to Twitter, TradeGecko to Intuit, Travelmob to HomeAway), while the firm's four unicorns (Livspace, Kredivo, Moglix, Builder.ai) remain privately held after Kredivo's 2022 SPAC deal was cancelled
