Impact Investment

Since 2010, Amala Paradigm has been working with clients to provide proprietary knowledge, networks and opportunities to engage with leaders in the impact investing field. We have extensive experience in the capacity building and funding of social enterprises that drive high impact solutions to pressing social and environmental issues. We have worked with enterprises that address women's health and financial empowerment, clean technology, microfinance, and job creation and health for marginalized groups. We have driven philanthropic capital to scale seed and early-stage social enterprises through pioneering corporate programs and through investment capital to scale growth-stage enterprises through our investment partners. This investment capital is representative of impact investing in enterprises that generate financial returns as well as measured social or environmental impact.  Thought leadership is highlighting the important role of these social enterprises and impact investment in driving economic and social development growth. We believe the insight flowing from social enterprises is key to understanding sustainability and business trends and, therefore, we strategically integrate partnerships around impact investment to build our clients' knowledge and position them as strategic leaders.  

Corporate Responsibility & Philanthropy Expertise

We have launched and built CSR platforms and divisions from conception within financial institutions where we oversaw all areas of CSR strategy formulation and organizational integration; created hundreds of multi- stakeholder partnerships and engagement opportunities among our private wealth, investment banking and retail clients, employees and communities where we operated; and gained inclusion into the leading global sustainability indices.  We have first-hand experience developing and embedding leading initiatives which were aligned to our business. By driving and seeding innovation, we have overseen, directed, and fundraised USD250M+ towards social enterprises, high-impact non-profit organizations and centres of excellence facilitating the flow of capital towards game-changers tackling some of the most pressing social and environmental challenges of the 21st Century.  

This direct experience gives us a thorough understanding of the complexities that arise when firms attempt to shift from CSR platforms that are solely focused on PR value to companies which are viewed by their stakeholders as authentic and fully entrenched responsible companies who are values aligned and driven. This is a necessity for firms operating in today’s interconnected global marketplace with a diverse and increasingly vocal set of stakeholders who demand transparency, accountability and active engagement.
