With a rich background spanning strategic marketing, retail technology, and early-stage venture building, JUNAGAL offers a unique blend of practical business insights, thought leadership, and actionable frameworks.

Anil’s journey is marked by a commitment to bridging the gap between visionary ideas and real-world execution.

Our Mission

At JUNAGAL, we believe that every great venture begins with a clear strategy and relentless execution. Our mission is to enable entrepreneurs and business leaders to navigate complexity confidently by providing:

• Collaborative growth by connecting startups with advisory and operational support

We strive to build a community where ideas are nurtured, knowledge is shared freely, and long-term value is created sustainably.

• Founder-First Thinking: We prioritise the challenges and ambitions of founders, tailoring advice and solutions to their unique contexts.

• Transparency & Integrity: Openness and honesty guide every interaction, investment, and collaboration.
