New Delhi: Vuclip, the world’s largest independent mobile video and Media Company, has raised $13 million in Series D funding led by SingTel Innov8, a new strategic investor, and existing investors NEA and Jafco Ventures. The funds raised will be used to meet tremendous global demand particularly in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, as well as to further innovation around Vuclip’s media and advertising platform.

In the past year the company has introduced an iOS app as part of a complementary app and browser strategy to address the needs of all mobile video viewers no matter the device or quality of network they are on.

“We believe that growth in mobile video is being driven by three major factors: the spread of low cost smart phones, rapid growth of mobile-only internet users and demand for compelling content. We see this happening in emerging markets in ways that are different compared to developed markets,” said Nickhil Jakatdar, CEO, Vuclip. “This is very much informing our vision and strategy for reaching consumers, carriers, content providers and advertisers worldwide as a media platform and we believe we are on a unique, global path to success.”

"Most of the world’s first internet experience is on a cell phone,” said Nick Sturiale, General Partner, Jafco Ventures. “Vuclip is the fastest growing video service since YouTube, but has much better engagement. The company is poised to be a dominant global media services platform.”
