During the JIIF Flames Summit, the JITO Shark Angels Pitch & Rise session saw investors Madanlal Gundecha, Ecosystem Ventures founder Abhishek Sanghvi, Kiran Dantewadia, and Rajesh Jain leading the funding round.
The investment was strategically focused on the D2C consumer tech sector, with an emphasis on smart technology and sustainability. These funds aim to drive innovation and enhance India's business landscape by supporting ventures with strong growth potential.
