“Corporates in Social Business” – Grameen Social Business Day

I was honoured to present at Grameen’s Social Business Day in Bangalore on “Corporates in Social Business”. This was an amazing gathering of over 1000 people from 40 countries. We launched our innovative Women and Girls Fund alongside one of our trusted partners Grameen Bank founder and Nobel Prize Laureate, Professor Muhammad Yunus who has changed the lives of millions of people around the world through innovative social business practices. We are also excited to partner with FHI Foundation, UN and the Malala Fund. When I started on this journey of self-discovery many years ago, the book that made me think differently was Professor Yunus’ books of “Social Business” and “Banker to the Poor”. I was able to test my thesis and theories at the University of Oxford with an amazing cohort of talented people and a wonderful mentor in Prof Lalit Johri MSc MBA Ph.D who has been a constant source of inspiration alongside Amin Rajan. Professor Yunus has a long and distinguished history of building and backing disruptive business models. I look forward to continuing our work of using investment capital for social good through the Impact Investing strategies we are launching over the coming months…
