Over the past three years impact investors have been working on partnering with businesses which enhance access to high-quality education, health care, energy, water and sanitation. Investors have also been keen on generating employment and developing the agricultural supply chain.

The industry today has a range of players active in India from development finance institutions, private-equity funds, venture capital funds, incubators and likewise.
