Together with Yuj Kutumb and Yuj Foundation, the impact investing and grant making arms respectively, it constitutes the Yog family office. Yuj Ventures invests in new and innovative ideas and companies; helps rapidly growing companies scale in emerging markets; and enables networks, alliances and joint ventures that support emerging markets’ entry. Yuj Kutumb supports for-profit organizations providing societal benefits and/or public goods within a financially sustainable framework. Yuj Foundation has an annual grant making program for social entrepreneurs and not-for-profit organizations in three areas - education, urbanization, and the arts. The focus areas represent the belief that a better world requires better education opportunities and outcomes for all, a sustainable world requires sustainable urbanization and de-urbanization, and a civilized world requires more support to the arts which make us human. Yuj seeks to achieve these missions by backing passionate entrepreneurs globally. The Yuj portfolio spans Singapore, the United States, India, Israel, Hong Kong, Latin America, Africa, SE Asia, and the Subcontinent.
