[Jobs Roundup] Work with these VC firms to spot and nurture the next big startup

Venture capital firms have had a huge role to play in India’s startup boom. They have put founders on the entrepreneurial path by believing in their ideas, grit, and determination – and backing them. 

Flipkart, the poster boy of Indian startups, grew to its current scale with funds from Helion Venture Partners, Accel India, and Tiger Global Management during 2008-2009, decisive years in the online retailer’s growth story.
