Better late than never when it comes to posting. Recently participated in an engaging panel on Risk, Return and Impact: The Tripod of Impact Investing at Impact Investors Council (IIC)’s flagship event #Prabhav2024. Was a good opportunity to articulate a few points as an impact investor for close to 20 years: ✅As investors, we need to evolve our thinking of the end customer segment. They have evolved from what we used to call bottom of the pyramid to be Entrepreneurial Households – aspirational, resilient and with multiple sources of income, which create a massive trillion dollar transactional volume on just core solutions and services. ✅The search for aligned capital remains a key challenge - despite clear evidence that there are real, risk-adjusted returns to be made. The impact investing sector needs to value its own work, and reflect that work in valuations - which in turn will convince other pools of capital that returns can be made. ✅Building companies for this customer segment requires a unique DNA and approach - where technology, data, and branding are approached differently. We need to set up transformational platforms to build blue chip companies that serve this segment effectively. Thank you to my fellow panellists - Geeta Goel from Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, India; Sugandhi Matta from abcIMPACT, A Member of Temasek Trust Asset Management, Shilpa Kumar from Omidyar Network India and our moderator Royston Braganza from Grameen Impact Investments India. https://lnkd.in/gvPGkMrn #EPICopportunity #EquityforEquity #EntrepreneurialHouseholds #humancenteredcapital #impinv #ElevarMethod #ImpactInvestment #IIC #Prabhav2024 Many thanks for the team at IIC, in particular Neha Bhatnagar and Ranjna Khanna.
