What we learned together this week

The India Impact Investing Week is here and Network Capital is delighted to serve as a partner.

All subscribers are eligible to get complimentary passes as long as they are curious and reasonably well prepared. To make that happen, we had Kartik Desai, a leading impact investor conduct a long-form masterclass on Sunday. If you are interested in attending, please watch Kartik’s masterclass and write to [email protected] . We will track all completions at the backend and everyone who goes through the masterclass will be sent the ticket.

India Impact Investing Week is one of the world’s most thoughtfully curated summit on the subject. Given below is the agenda for your perusal. We think it will be interesting for you to attend sessions together and then discuss key takeaways as a community.

Now on to the lessons from the newsletters this week.

2. Career principles of American Supreme Court Justice and cultural icon RBG: Its a little over week since she passed away and people who followed her activism and work are remembering her in their own ways - through art, resistance and even some critique. When asked in an interview about her legacy Justice Ginsberg, she beautifully summarized -“I would like to be remembered as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability.” Read more here.
