Climate Philanthropy for Equitable Social Outcomes
"We have a bias for equitable outcomes. We have stopped funding anything which does not further social equity. That means - even if we have to go to the hinterlands of the country to find organisations who are doing meaningful work on the ground with these communities, we will go and find them."
Jarnail Singh, Deputy Director (India), MacArthur Foundation

Building the Ecosystem for Transformational Climate Action
"Through our combination of fit-for-purpose capital and customised commercialisation support, we are able to de-risk at the critical pre-growth inflection point, as well as addressing FOAK or business model funding needs for manufacturing key industrial inputs.
Many of the businesses we look at sit at the intersection of adaptation and mitigation, with their deep impacts on livelihoods, health, well-being and water security. In short, the solutions we fund address hard-to-abate sectors, have clear climate attribution, and are integrally aligned with economic development and livelihoods."
Maya Chandrasekaran, Co-founder & Partner, Green Artha

Climate-centric Impact Investing: A Holistic Approach
"At Lok Capital, we integrate ESG at each step of the investment process, starting with initial screening at the time of sourcing till we exit the company. We evaluate the governance on various parameters throughout the investment process, and draw up an action plan upfront to drive improvements.
As a fund compliant with SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) Article 9, we have developed a robust Climate Framework to assess the climate-related risks and opportunities of our investments. Our Climate Framework ensures that we not only comply with regulatory requirements but also drive meaningful environmental and social outcomes through our investments."
Vikram Dileepan, Director, Lok Capital

Driving Innovation to Decarbonise Construction
"The core innovation and the differentiation between traditional products is the elimination of cement and usage of industrial by-products. Cement inside concrete is the most expensive and the material with the highest CO2 footprint. Once we have eliminated this, the products become eco-friendly and cost-effective.
Other things that make our product a perfect solution is the same physical appearance, performance and the manufacturing process. This makes REX-Bricks and REX-Pavers as the perfect alternative to traditional products available."
Abhishek Chazzed, Co-founder, RecycleX
