Investment Strategy

Omidyar Network India believes in the power of technology to make financial products more affordable, accessible, and convenient for underserved customers. We invest in bold entrepreneurs who build innovative financial products and services that improve the financial health of the next half billion and MSMEs. We also invest in digital enablers and market infrastructure that can catalyze digital financial inclusion. Our dual cheque-book approach also allows us to support research to understand and address structural impediments to financial inclusion.
