Jungle Ventures

🔥 JUST IN: Jungle is TRIPLING down on our India strategy 🇮🇳 "India has become the largest single market for Jungle, more than 50 per cent larger than any other markets that we're investing in." ⁠⁠Jungle has ten-folded our commitment to India since the earliest fund, totalling over 1000 Cr since founding, and we're set to deploy that same figure again in just under two years—something that took us over a decade previously. Since the pandemic, our India team size has tripled, and our year-over-year investments have tripled as well. Our investments in India now outpace other markets by 3x, with at least 50% of our capital earmarked for the Indian market going forward. 🚀 🚀 Read more: https://lnkd.in/ggs2tzuA Amit Anand Anurag Srivastava Arpit Beri Manpreet Ratia Vishesh Sharma Shivam Bakshi Ranvita Agrawal Aviral Goenka Ashna Agarwal Alvin Tan Menka Sajnani

The beauty about private investing is that it has and will always remain a cat & mouse game. As investors zoom in one metric, the market finds a way to deliver it at the cost of everything else. Here are a few examples Look for DAU /MAU: Create sleazy content or deploy bot farms, or both. Look for ARR: Create booking revenue with no hopes of cash in bank. Look for Revenue Growth: Sell a $ for 90c. Look for high gross margins: Book attractive revenue with margins, which never turns into cash. Look for stable Customer Retention: Give endless renewals with no payment in sight. Ask Revenue Retention: Take UPI auto-pays which customers don't know how to cancel While the list is endless, the only mantra is to figure out if a large base of genuine customers are willing to buy your product or service paying a fair price for it, and ready to come back the next time when the need arises. Unfortunately, there can never be a single metric capturing all of it. Being the man with a hammer never works in private investing.

This week, I had the chance to participate in a panel discussion hosted by HSBC on "Powering the Opportunities in Vietnam’s New Economy." Among many exciting growth drivers and catalysts, we also discussed the challenges of investing into Vietnam. Here is a summary of my viewpoints: - There is no precedence for large successful exits in Vietnam. But the quality of talent in Vietnam is promising enough for us to invest efforts in creating such precedents ourselves. - The availability of growth capital remains a challenge in Vietnam. This is where we add value by having a Capital Formation team to support our portfolio, bridging this gap. - We diversify our exit risk by investing in founders who "adapt locally but think globally." We believe that Vietnam has most of the factors to become an ideal launchpad to build high-quality products at an affordable cost to serve the world. Thank you HSBC for the opportunity to share these insights and engage in such a meaningful discussion with the other esteemed panelists.
