Tiger Global, the U.S. investment firm, has decided to exit its stake in Indian digital media company TVF as the startup’s valuation fell to $22 million.
Tiger Global announced its decision to divest its stake in The Viral Fever (TVF) after the Indian digital media company’s valuation slipped to $22 million. The U.S. investment firm had previously backed TVF in earlier funding rounds, but the recent decline in the startup’s valuation prompted the exit.
TVF, founded in 2010, has produced popular web series and digital content that has resonated with a young audience across India. The company has grown its viewership and revenue streams through platforms such as YouTube and its own streaming service.
The valuation drop comes amid a broader slowdown in the Indian startup ecosystem, where many media and entertainment firms have faced challenges in monetizing content and securing sustained growth. TVF’s latest funding round reflected these market conditions.
With Tiger Global’s exit, TVF will need to seek new investors or alternative funding strategies to continue expanding its content portfolio and maintain its competitive edge in the digital space.
