Team

Shantanu spent three decades in business and finance leadership roles with Genpact, GE, Unilever and PricewaterhouseCoopers (in reverse chronological order). In the last decade and half, he was part of the leadership team that made Genpact a global transformation services leader from a GE captive and co-led a portfolio of global businesses with revenues of more than USD 1.5 Bln. In the first half of his career he was a finance specialist with the last stint as CFO for GE in India. In 2019 he decided to focus all his energies on the Indian social sector to give back to the community (as a culmination of a few years of self-discovery and belief in both the need and potential of India to move the needle in SDG goals) and began mentoring and advising diverse organisations in that sector. He is a believer in the thesis of organizing risk capital in the development sector not just for the additional funding capacity but equally for the rigor it brings to focus and measurement of impact and creation of sustainable competences in the delivery organization.
