Tarun Poddar

Tarun Poddar founded Foxhog in March 2020, a global venture capital and investment banking firm headquartered in Los Angeles, with substantial operations in India. Under his leadership, Foxhog has rapidly expanded across borders, focusing on financial inclusion and backing underserved innovators. Tarun’s standout innovation is the “VC for Villages” model—a revenue-based funding solution that helps small businesses, farmers, and women entrepreneurs secure collateral-free investment. This model enables rural entrepreneurs to access capital without the burden of high interest or EMIs, fostering inclusion and sustainable impact.
