  8. Government can help Social Entrepreneurship and Impact Investing by defining them and providing regulatory support I. Define Impact Investing II. The Impact Investors Council (IIC) has further identified following priority areas that to boost impact investing IIC defines impact investing as for-profit investments in social enterprises, which are defined on the basis of: Intentionality – Achievement of measurable social impact as a stated, primary objective of the enterprise Priority/Social Sector Focus – Includes but is not limited to financial inclusion, agriculture, affordable healthcare, affordable education, clean energy, water, sanitation, livelihoods, affordable housing Beneficiary Focus – Over 67% of suppliers, customers, producers and/or employees must be individuals with annual income < US$ 5,000 Public Commitment to Social Impact Measurement, Reporting & Audits 1. Recognition of Impact Investors, Social Enterprises and IIC Notify definitions of Social Entrepreneurship and Impact Investing, based on Intentionality, Focused (priority) Sectors, Beneficiary Focus & (transparent) Impact Reporting to enable and catalyse Private Sector’s formal partnership for inclusive growth 2. Review Social Venture Fund (SVF) Guidelines Reduce minimum SVF size from INR 20 crores to INR 10 crores, using proposed Accredited Investor Guidelines, for parity with Angel Funds 3. Permit CSR & Trusts to make social “impact” investments Allow CSR/Trust/Foundation social “impact” investments, without source profiteering & with appropriate taxation, to unleash creativity 4. Increase Access to ECB for Social Enterprises Expand the Eligible Borrowers under Track III (INR funding) to include Social Enterprises and Eligible End Use to Social Entrepreneurship activities

  9. We have two big stories to tell- a sterling Report Card and a bold, new Vision REPORT CARD • $ 2.5 billion cumulative core investments in India currently across >350 social enterprises; projected to grow to $6.5 billion by 2020 • 2015 Investments touch $508 million across 55 investment transactions • $60 bn market globally growing at 16% • Dominant Focus on Financial Inclusion in India: 61% by value and 54% by volume • Extensive Risk Taking: 39% by value and 34% by volume on Pre-Revenue companies  • Impact Investing returns estimated at 13% for a sample of 55 partial and full exits since 2007 with average holding period > 5 years VISION • Sir Ronald Cohen, Chair of GSG, has a bold, unified vision on a broader definition of Impact Investing with Outcomes in the middle, all sources of capital (Philanthropic & CSR included) and all social ventures (For-Profit and Not-for-Profit) • IIC is excited and building all-stakeholder consensus • We aspire to collaborate with Sir Ronald Cohen to unify all sources of Impact Capital and all Social Ventures, to build a $5 trillion global and $ 1 trillion Indian Impact Investing Industry by 2050 ($60 billion currently) • Finally, to make this possible, we need two innovations: • Outcome Funds & Social Impact Bonds • Social Investment Bank(s)

  10. Opportunity # 1: Social Impact Bonds & Outcome Funds The SIB can have any time period and fixed or variable returns (based on outcomes). Also called “Pay for Success Bond” or “Social Benefit Bond”or “Development Impact Bond”. Outcome Funds will be not-for-profits and mobilize Philanthropic, CSR or Govt. Capital for specific outcomes- e.g.,reduction is school dropout rate for girls OR reduction in Diabetes OR reduction in Infant Mortality OR increase in GER, etc. The SIB issuer can be for-profit OR an Impact Fund which raises both “Risk Capital” for the entrepreneur and “Outcome Capital” as ongoing “revenue” and still play for “exit bounty” Worldwide, Governments are theprimary Funders of SIBs The OF, SIB Issuer or SV must hire a professional Social Impact Auditor for Outcome Measurement The Social Venture can be a for-profit or a not-for-profit; SIBs therefore unify the sector

  11. Opportunity # 2: Social Investment Bank • What’s a Social Investment Bank? An independent financial institution with a social mission, to help grow social investment in a country with (i) investment and (ii) advocacy. • Is there an example? Big Society Capital in UK, co-founded in 2012 formerly chaired by Sir Ronald Cohen is the world’s first wholesale, Social Investment Bank, setup with GBP 600 million investment. As a wholesaler, BSC does not directly invest in frontline organisations, but in Social Investment Finance Intermediaries (SIFIs). BSC receives funding from two sources: • Banks and building societies in the UK pay money from dormant accounts into the Reclaim Fund Limited. • Four of the main UK banks (Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds & RBS) contributed GBP 50 million. • Do India Aspiration Fund or SIDBI perform the same function? No,IAF is a Fund of Funds and an LP into Venture Capital, Private Equity or Social Impact Funds. It is not dedicated to social mission. SIDBI too is focused on MSMEs, not social service. It also focuses in Equity. What about NABARD & IFCI? These are Development Banks with focus on Agriculture and Industry respectively and prominent use of direct investments. What about NSDC (National Skills Development Corporation)? NSDCis a Government SIFI, as it does direct investment into skills development companies and will be able to raise funds from this wholesale bank. • How will it help Government and India?: Different Ministries lacking professional skills to run “Funds” can consider Outcome Funds for current or new social programs, using professional capabilities and structures of this Wholesale Bank, which will improve upon the current process of Ministry Tenders, and both galvanize and create transparency amongst 2.5 million + social ventures in India.
