WiJungle

WiJungle is a Gurugram, India-based network security vendor that builds a unified security gateway consolidating next-generation firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, web application firewall, SD-WAN, DLP, and cloud sandboxing into a single appliance or software form factor. Founded in 2014 by Karmesh Gupta and Praveen Gupta, the company targets organizations that want to replace a stack of point security products with one console, positioning itself against established NGFW vendors like SonicWall and Fortinet, particularly in mid-market, hospitality, education, healthcare, and smart-city deployments across 25-plus countries.

The company has been repeatedly recognized in Gartner Peer Insights vendor rankings (2020-2022) and won regional innovation awards from Frost & Sullivan India, DSCI-Nasscom, and CIOReview, evidence of solid customer satisfaction within its core South Asian and emerging-market base. WiJungle raised seed funding from global venture firm SOSV at a reported $22 million valuation, giving it runway to expand internationally, though its funding scale and brand recognition remain well behind Western NGFW incumbents.

For CISOs evaluating WiJungle, the appeal is consolidation economics: a single unified platform can reduce licensing and management overhead versus stitching together separate firewall, VPN, and DLP tools, which matters most for resource-constrained IT teams in mid-market and vertical-specific deployments (e.g., hospitality captive portals, campus network management). The tradeoff is a smaller ecosystem, less third-party independent lab validation, and materially lower brand mindshare than category leaders, so it is best evaluated as a cost-effective consolidated alternative rather than a drop-in enterprise NGFW replacement.
