Aug 31, 2023 Posted by: Sujit Kunte All SDGs,  Eva Yazhari,  TX,  USA

Eva: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! Through our investments, we solve for three key areas: economic inclusion, climate change, and healthcare. We specifically focus on East Africa and India, two areas in the world that are going to see enormous population growth that will transform our world. Consumers who benefit from our platforms earn less than $15 a day. We believe that investing in purpose-driven companies in East Africa and India will create greater value for underrepresented groups and a net benefit to society over time. We believe that doing good and doing well can—and should—coexist.
