India as an impact investment destination holds great promise. It is a country with an aspirational, young population focused on enriching their lives through hard work and entrepreneurship.

The Incofin India Progress Fund (IPF), wants to support these promising entrepreneurs to increase their chances of success through patient capital, mentoring and access to a global network. IPF will focus on two sectors which make the deepest social impact in the Indian context – financial inclusion and the agri-food value chain.

Incofin India Progress Fund (IPF) is a SEBI Registered Alternative Investment Fund – Category II. IPF had its first close in July 2021. The Fund will provide early growth to mid expansion equity to entrepreneur-led businesses that have a high potential for value creation in India and are active in the Financial Services Sector, the Agri-Food Sector and Other Impact Sectors.

IPF is looking to support companies that are entrepreneur led with innovative and technology-based business models and creating tangible and sustainable impact (social and environmental).
