Strategic and Social Alignment with Partners |
Lok's main priority is the relationships we build with the founders and management of our partner companies. We believe that achieving and maintaining philosophical alignment with the entrepreneurs and managers running the companies we back is the best way to build strong institutions serving the base of pyramid.
First and foremost, the Lok team acts as a strategic sounding board for our partners on key decisions for the company both informally and formally. Lok also places strong emphasis on getting the highest standards of governance in place and helping put them into practice at board meetings in order to help address issues of risk, transparency, remuneration and stakeholder relations. Linked to this, Lok places strong emphasis on social impact and works with the management to devise strategies to make improvement of social welfare a core part of their business model.
Lok is ready to use its expertise and contacts to devise funding strategies and open doors to new investors for both debt and equity, overseas as well as local.
Lok operationalises recruitment by tapping our extensive networks to source senior management hires in partner companies. Lok also has an active fellowship program which provides partner companies with full-time fellows on the ground working with portfolio companies as in-house resources to CEOs/COOs on major strategic or operational issues.
Lok stands ready to support partner companies with practical help on issues of operational improvement and delivery. Lok advises partner company CTOs on technology issues and works with management teams on the implementation of new operational roll-outs, new geographical area roll-outs, new product launches, organizational changes and new business opportunities at a grassroots level. Lok has full-time staff dedicated to portfolio management, including an advisor with over 15 years of experience in implementing growth strategies for rural service providers.
