Geeta writes extensively on impact investing in India. As an insider to the country’s impact investing scenario for more than a decade now, she has an in-depth understanding of the subject.
According to Geeta, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation is always looking for “white spaces” or areas with high impact potential where the market doesn’t appear to be addressing the needs of the people. In such areas, their experience in working closely with the grantees/investees, paired with their sectoral research and diagnostic studies, helps in identifying the roots of a problem – and the likely disruptions that will catalyse a market-based model.
The foundation is inching close to the $100 million mark in impact investments and has impacted the lives of over 12 million families living in poverty in urban India.
