Diversity & Inclusion

We have redrawn our approach to reflect diversity and inclusion across our people, processes and programs.

Gender Inclusion is our primary focus area within D&I

Incubating Women-led Enterprises: We work with partners who believe in the merit of supporting women-led enterprises as much as we do. We pay attention to garnering a rich pipeline of women entrepreneurs and are mindful of maintaining the gender ratio of our portfolio.
Connecting Women Entrepreneurs with Incubators & Impact Investors: Our annual discovery platform - iPitch - is designed to ensure higher possibilities for women entrepreneurs to receive access to capital.

Incubating Enterprises That Impact Women & Girls: Our incubation focus areas such as maternal & child health, NCDs such as cervical cancer, etc reflect the importance we give to startups that solve problems for women and girls at the BoP.
Increasing Livelihood Opportunities for Women through our Incubatees: We run programs such as Powering Livelihoods which have specific targets towards increasing livelihood opportunities for women.

Women in Leadership: We have increased the number of women on our Board of Advisors by 50% in the last 2 years. We are investing in leadership development and coaching to increase the number of women on our Leadership Team.
Hiring & Retention: We consciously hire women that are returning to the work-force. Our HR policies are adaptive to the needs of working mothers.
