One of our earliest investments through our sister fund, Beyond Capital Fund, Frontier Markets is a last-mile distribution platform with a mission to create "Saral Jeevan" (an "Easy Life") for rural households in last-mile villages by providing them local access to high-quality, climate-friendly, and gender-inclusive products and services by investing in rural women entrepreneurs as the connector to rural communities. It is inspiring to see the tangible results of Frontier Markets' initiatives, leading to greater gender equity and economic freedom. #beyondcapitalventures #rethinkingvc #financialinclusion #genderlensinvesting #investinindia
