How this VC fund is Promoting Gender Equality | Seema Chaturvedi, Founder, AWE Funds
Are financial returns and social returns necessarily at odds? Is there a way organizations can promote gender equity AND increase profitability exponentially?
Join us for another illuminating installment of Chat Masala, hosted by Rahul Subramaniam, where we are in conversation with Ms. Seema Chaturvedi, founder of Achieving Women Equity (AWE) Funds. She is focused on investing in innovative enterprises that positively impact gender balance, by investing in women-owned, led, and influenced companies in India.
Throughout the conversation, we dive into the difference between venture capital and private equity, how female entrepreneurs and startup founders can gain agency through technology, and the biggest reason companies are accidentally leaving tons of money on the table.
