Our Core Impact Areas
Our Impact Measurement and Management Thesis
Aavishkaar Group’s vision is to Bridge the Opportunity Gap for the Emerging 3 Billion.
We have been realizing this vision through each of the Aavishkaar Group businesses - Aavishkaar Capital, Arohan, Ashv, and Intellecap – that individually support various parts of the journeys of low and middle-income entrepreneurs. Together, we have been able to create a platform that leads to exponential impact across entire ecosystems. We strongly believe and promote ‘Impact’ in the DNA of all our group businesses. By leveraging capital, knowledge and networks, we provide a strong differentiated capability as an Impact platform, with each business rooted in strong fundamental and common principles of access, inclusion and sustainability.
All businesses make an Impact. But not all investments are Impact Investments
We believe that most businesses make an impact. However, it is difficult to make certain kinds of impact and commercial capital is shy to deal with such challenges that they fully don’t comprehend; therefore, impact investing has a pioneering role associated with it. We also believe that while all companies make impact but not all investments are impact investments. And we strive to understand the distinction between the two and this remains a challenge in our journey.
Our IMM Framework looks at impact in all its dimensions
Our interpretation of Impact is highly contextual and driven by our deep understanding of the local context. Our framework considers the obvious and direct impact that is visible and can be measured quantitatively. In addition, we look at the depth of impact that go beyond the obvious impact due to its ability to generate significant leverage on the sector or the market.
