Geeta Goel — Head of Growth

A strong champion of equity in opportunity, and ''sustainable impact'', I entered the world of philanthropy and impact investments in 2007 with the India Office of Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. The best part about my role has been the learnings from the communities we serve - their hopes, aspirations and dreams makes each day an interesting part of my learning journey. Over the last several years, I have been part of the Foundation’s leadership team steering large scale transformation, in the form of learning levels in government school systems, creating pathways to high quality professional degrees and aspirational jobs and improving income levels for micro entrepreneurs. I have served on the Boards of Ujjivan Financial Services, Janalakshmi Financial Services, Micro Housing Finance Corporation, Swadhaar FinServe, Arohan Financial Services, Sonata Finance, Basix Sub-K, etc. I was also the Chairperson of India's Impact Investors Council from 2017-2019. In 2017, I was nominated by Business Today amongst the 30 Most Powerful Women in Impact, and in 2020, Forbes India nominated me as the 20 Power Women Changing the Game. Inspired by the power of impact investing, I have taken guest faculty lectures on Impact Investing/ Social Entrepreneurship at Said Business School, Oxford, and Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. I also serve as an Independent Director with Home First Finance, Equitas Small Finance Bank, Niva Bupa Health Insurance, IIMA Ventures and Mobile Creches.
