This learning lab will seek to provide a space for comprehensive discussion, knowledge sharing and knowledge creation. We aim for it to act as a platform for intermediaries who are working to support entrepreneurs and innovators looking to create decent, quality jobs. We will focus on understanding what the different aspects of a ‘quality job’ are, the role that intermediaries play in supporting SGBs to create these and what are metrics that could be used to measure progress around decent job creation.
Register and join to get a deeper understanding of the climate finance landscape in India, and also how you as an intermediary can help shape the road to 2030!
"The whitepaper discusses the problem of gender inequity in funding outcomes for women-founded startups, both globally and in India. The research aimed to understand the gender gaps in funding outcomes among investors and identify opportunities for improvement. The study utilized data from the Tracxn database, global benchmarks, and interviews with stakeholders in the investment ecosystem. Key findings include the concentration of funding in a few sectors and cities, the growth of women-founded companies in recent years, and the lack of gender diversity in investment teams. The report also highlights case studies of organizations that practice gender-smart funding and offers recommendations for fostering gender lens investment in India. It emphasizes the need for data tracking, a change in investment processes, and the promotion of gender diversity in firms to improve funding outcomes for women entrepreneurs. The report suggests a targeted approach with a dedicated team and industry-wide engagement to create a sustainable and robust platform for gender lens investment in India."
