Scalable and sustainable impact
Being surrounded by amazing talent
The universe has a plan
Taking on seemingly unsurmountable challenges
Table Tennis, Travel. Fitness, and Cooking
I've always been passionate about creating social change. I'm excited at the opportunity BF presents to scale impact.
The fresh thinking and the can-do attitude.
Be bold! Take more risks.
Entrepreneurs who fight the hard fight
I love spending time outdoors/ in nature whether its trekking, going for long walks or outdoor sports. Love playtime with my son and dog.
I discovered a passion for impact investing at policy school triggered by a class on financial inclusion. And as I dwelled deeper into the subject I saw the innovative use of capital that blended finance enables. This approach could be particularly impactful in a market like India where things must happen at scale.
More than one! Building an organization from scratch, hearing the need for an organization like ours from all stakeholders and of course, listening to and learning from inspiring entrepreneurs!
Just carry on, you'll be fine!
Nature and its resilience
I am a total jungle kid! I love being out in nature and exploring national parks and occasionally spotting wild animals through safaris or hikes. I love birding and get extra thrilled discovering 'lifers'. I am also a certified scuba diver so dive whenever life offers me a chance!
I've always wanted to create positive social impact in the world. There are many ways to do that but in a world where money drives almost everything (for better or for worse), Blended Finance is a great tool to enable meaningful on-ground change by helping direct more money towards impactful initiatives
The work and the people. The work because I believe in the power of blended finance to drive change. The people because everyone comes from stellar, diverse backgrounds and are highly driven and want to be here
Trust the process
Tackling big, hairy problems especially those with real world implications. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) there is no shortage of such problems for us to try and solve
I love traveling especially to places that are not overly touristy and exploring different cultures. I'm also exploring improv comedy - it's amazing what you can collectively create on the spot even if you don't really know the other person(s)
Its a dynamic industry and challenges me to explore the opportunities that lie beyond the conventional. I am excited by the idea to use finance creatively to deepen the impact while also generating returns.
Definitely the team, so much enthusiasm and positivity to always strive for more!
Keep putting in the effort and trust the process
The possibility that there is so much to see in the world and so much to learn everyday keeps me going
I like to travel, to explore local culture and food. I also have a budding interest in yoga.
