We are a consulting start-up with the vision of ‘Mainstreaming the practice of Gender Lens Investing (GLI) in order to achieve drastic decrease in covert and overt biases or disadvantages pertaining to aspects of gender, identity, socio-economy and their intersectionality thereof, in the investment industry’.
We aim to empower investors, particularly impact investors, to apply a gender lens in their investment strategies.
We also work with other industry stakeholders, such as intermediaries and enterprises, to apply a gender lens to their approaches and operations.
