Lok Strategy

 
 

Investment Thesis

Lok partners with entrepreneurs and companies across a wide range of backgrounds that have proven execution ability, innovative ideas for serving the BoP/lower income segment and a strong desire to effect social change. Additionally, Lok chooses to work with companies.

            Which have a transparent, customer centric approach to business with focus on client protection
            Where we have clear alignment with Promoters in terms of profitability and growth

Once we have identified a potential partner, Lok works with the management team and the stakeholders to develop a deep understanding of the overall plan, business model, impact and goals for the organization. Following a decision to invest, Lok undertakes comprehensive due diligence to develop an understanding of the company’s financial and organizational history. We focus on business models that

            Extend the income generating capabilities of end BoP customers and
            Protect BoP families from income shocks

We are enthusiastic advocates for our investees, whom we seek to empower with our capital, strategic advice, and combined experience of over 100 years in entrepreneurial, investing, consulting, law and operations roles.
