JITO Incubation and Innovation Foundation (JIIF) has announced plans to invest ₹80–100 crore in early-stage startups over the next 12–18 months, reinforcing its focus on pre-seed and seed-stage innovation.

The platform has already deployed over ₹150 crore across more than 100 startups in the past two years and recorded over 15 exits, indicating strong portfolio traction and early liquidity outcomes.

Expanding Capital Deployment and Investment Strategy

JIIF plans to back 20–25 startups annually, with ticket sizes ranging between ₹1.5 crore and ₹2 crore depending on the stage and sector. The investment focus spans high-growth areas such as artificial intelligence, fintech, climate tech, mobility, and digital infrastructure.

In addition to direct startup investments, the platform has invested ₹26.5 crore in Atomic Capital, enabling it to access a broader set of investment opportunities through strategic partnerships.

Accelerator Plans to Scale Across Asia-Pacific

To deepen its ecosystem play, JIIF is also planning to launch an accelerator programme targeting the Asia-Pacific region, including India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

The initiative aims to support early-stage founders with capital, mentorship, and cross-border market access, positioning JIIF as a key enabler in scaling startups beyond domestic markets.

The move highlights growing institutional interest in structured early-stage investing, as platforms look to combine capital with ecosystem support to drive long-term value creation.
