Limited Partner (LP) in Jamwant Ventures
Aug 2024
In the Hindu Epic Ramayana, Lord Hanuman ji had taken the responsibility of finding Sita, wife of Lord Shri Ram, who was kidnapped by Demon King Ravan and taken to Lanka across the ocean. As the epic goes, standing at the shores of great ocean, Lord Hanuman was lost in the thoughts trying to think of a way to cross the ocean. Seeing him lost in his thoughts and understanding his state of mind, Jamwant Ji, the commander of lord shri Ram’s army, reminded Hanuman of his childhood where Hanuman had leaped into the sky and had swallowed the sun. Reminded of his own ability and powers, Hanuman ji leaped across the ocean and reached Lanka and the rest is history. Inspired by the character of Jamwant, who was instrumental in reminding the God of his own powers, Jamwant ventures LLP was incepted. The aim of this venture is not only to provide funding to the budding startups/ founders but also to assist founders, who are faced with ocean of challenges during their journey as entrepreneurs, but also to remind them of their intrinsic strengths. The founders of Jamwant ventures, during their 60 years of combined experience have come across amazingly talented and gifted founders who just needed to be guided and reminded of their own abilities to survive and make it big.
