Lok Capital believes that Indian microfinance represents a compelling opportunity from the point of view of both financial and social returns. Entrepreneurial leadership and innovation, combined with strong social and commercial motivation of management, is a very powerful force which makes Indian microfinance different – generating reasonable financial returns and also giving Lok and its investors exposure to the fastest growing and most fertile form of social investment that has the potential to dictate the evolution of impact investing. Lok is prepared to look at microfinance businesses at all stages of their development and across all forms of innovation, driven by the approach of creating meaningful long-term, mutually value-accretive partnerships with the founders of our portfolio companies and their management teams. Lok invests with partners who share our approach to social inclusion, thus supporting them in the goal of creating sustainable institutions not driven by short-term targets. Hide
