About
Lok Capital is a pioneering India-focused investment firm established in 2004. We have generated above market returns via investments into innovative tech-enabled enterprises addressing social and environmental challenges at scale.
Investment approach
- Thesis
- We invest in early to growth stage investments into fast growing, high impact and tech-enabled business models in financial service, food & agriculture and climate & sustainability solutions in India. We like fundamentally driven business models that make commercial sense and do not shy away from investing in physical/ phygital businesses. In a context where financial gains and societal impact are perceived to be mutually exclusive, Lok strives to build companies that go beyond this binary.Source (opens in a new tab)
