✨ EM-PACT: E-mobility Program for Investors & Entrepreneurs || Expression of Interest Deadline is Approaching ✨



The Impact Investors Council (IIC) and KPMG India launched the e-mobility platform on 25th March 2025 and have since begun inviting expressions of interest from enterprises in the e-mobility space. Since the launch, the program has also onboarded 12 investor partners.

If you are an e-mobility enterprise operating in the sectors outlined under the program and haven’t submitted your expression of interest yet, there’s still time. Submit your EOI by Friday, 23rd May to be considered for the program. Entries will be shared with investor partners, and the EM-PACT team will facilitate targeted investor feedback and enable relevant connections between enterprises and investors (based on relevance & interest from investor partners).

🌟Unlocking Investor Action for a Just Transition in India’s Fashion Sector || Expression of Interest for Investors 🌟



We are excited to announce the launch of 'Unlocking Investor Action for a Just Transition in India’s Fashion Sector,' a dedicated program by the Impact Investors Council (IIC) and the Impact Investing Institute, with support from the Laudes Foundation.

Our program adopts a comprehensive value chain approach - from sustainable cotton cultivation at the source to end-of-life solutions like textile waste management and recycling. It seeks to engage a diverse pool of capital providers, including equity and debt investors, DFIs, philanthropic foundations, and CSR organisations.

As a first step, we are conducting a detailed Investor Mapping to gauge current interest and activity across this value chain and also understand how investors aim to engage with communities, placing people and planet at the core.

If you’re an investor investing in this space or exploring opportunities linked to climate action or social equity in fashion, we would love to hear from you.
