Welcome to JSW Ventures
We are a pre-series A to series A+ venture capital firm focused on platform and SaaS investments.
Focus Area
Enterprises and SMEs globally are undergoing rapid digital transformation which is driving modernization of legacy systems. With increasing business complexity combined with the need of real-time information, we believe that Indian entrepreneurs will build globally competitive software products across every industry.
Modern-day urban lifestyles are increasing disorders and ailments like diabetes, which is expected to increase from 77mn patients to 134mn in 2024. The need for quality care at scale is increasing digitization amongst hospitals and health clinics, which is enabling the opportunity to leverage data and historical trends to track, predict and improve patient outcomes. This along with upcoming regulatory frameworks in healthcare data management and interoperability are creating strong tailwinds for this ecosystem.
India, one of the largest retail markets in the world, is projected to surpass $1.7 Tn by 2025. With income per capita rising fast and deeper smartphone penetration, India’s 130 Mn new-age customers are largely underserved with aspirational and niche needs that now demand access to their favorite products. Sales and procurement channels are increasingly being digitized resulting in faster access to new and upcoming markets, hyper segmentation and opportunities for new business models that serve the customer better.
With the fintech ecosystem touching $200bn and mobile payments ecosystem at $3.3tn by 2025, digital data capture coupled with innovative underwriting and pricing models that leverage non-traditional data and ML techniques, financial enablement for underserved consumer segments will enable a more holistic ecosystem that Alternative credit decisioning platforms for digital lenders to embedded finance and insurance in everyday life will enable grassroot level financial inclusion.
Agriculture’s contribution to the country’s gross value added (GVA) is about 20%, and agriculture in India continues to be dominated by small and marginal land holdings. We are at the cusp of massive disruption in the food and agriculture ecosystem with startups disrupting traditional agriculture models with hypersegmentation and integration of value added services. New farming models and sustainability will see the rise of the tech enabled farmer with new food products and uses ensuring cleaner, eco-friendly access to the food chain.
Portfolio
Investing in technology for a better tomorrow
JSW Ventures has been an investor in Purplle since 2016. Last 5 years of partnership with Gaurav and Kunal have been immensely fulfilling. Apart from the capital, we have been able to use their services for fund raise - both external and internal, PR for Purplle, recruitment for Purplle and in general for personal development.

Working with the JSW Ventures team has been a great experience for the past 2 years. They have truly added value in giving us valuable strategic inputs without ever pushing their view beyond a point. Tactically also, they have been extremely helpful partners and have added great value in areas like PR and sourcing. I'd love to work with them again if an opportunity arises.
