Anisha Singh, Founder & Managing Partner, She Capital

Welcome back to episode 5 of “Champions with Chequebook$”, the podcast where we spotlight fund managers and investors from our network, their theses, journey and stories as investors. We hope you’ll listen in and share.

In this episode, Anisha Singh, Founder & Managing Partner, She Capital chats with Maya Chandrasekaran, Co-founder and Partner, Green Artha, Co-founder, Women In Investing Community. Tune in as she talks about her early days as a founder that eventually led to her setting up She Capital.

Anisha speaks candidly about female founders in the ecosystem and once again highlights the funding gap to women entrepreneurs. Global stats show that only 2% of women founders get funded through venture capital. In this episode, Anisha and Maya untangle the myths surrounding women founders and consumer startups.

Anisha specifically talks about the success She Capital has had with Clovia's sale to Reliance, the returns they have achieved, and how being women-focused is not an ESG gimmick. Just one of many insights shared over this free-wheeling discussion!

In Anisha’s words, “If we cheer on each other, that is when the ecosystem will get lifted. It's not about playing in silos.” Anisha lives this line, what with her support to WII and founders across the ecosystem. She is nothing short of inspiring and as a volunteer led community, we are immensely grateful for her backing!
