🔔 We're excited to announce that we've been selected for the ImpactAssets 50 2025 for the fifth year in a row! 🔔 The IA 50 is the first publicly available listing of private debt and equity impact investing fund managers across a wide range of geographies and impact areas of focus. Now in its 14th year, the IA 50 remains the most comprehensive resource for identifying best-in-class impact fund managers. It offers investors a rigorously curated and publicly accessible database to explore the industry’s leaders across various investment types. Omnivore on IA 50 '25 👉🏽 https://bit.ly/IA-50 Says Jed Emerson, IA 50 Review Committee Chair, and Chief Impact Officer at AlTi Tiedemann Global, “This year’s IA 50 showcases how impact investing is quickly coming of age – not only in scale and financial sophistication but also in accountability and rigour. The increasing prevalence of third-party impact verification, larger institutional-scale fund sizes and record-breaking newer entrants signal a maturing market that remains deeply committed to driving positive change.” Omnivore also achieved a ✨Gold✨ rating in BlueMark’s Fund Impact Diagnostic (Fund ID) assessment, further cementing our leadership in impact-driven investing! At the same time, our alignment with OPIM (Impact Principles) was reaffirmed with "Advanced" ratings in key areas, including impact monitoring, ESG risk management, and overall impact management.

In a recent feature on ThePrint, I spoke about how market-led models can work for farmers, despite early scepticism. Many believed that working directly at the farmgate wouldn’t be financially viable. But experience has shown otherwise. Farmers are keen to store their produce, access finance, and sell when prices are right- if the system is transparent and cost-effective. Today, Arya.ag aggregates 3% of India’s total grain production, providing farmers and FPOs with storage, finance, and market linkages. Our internal study found that 79% of farmers using our platform saw their incomes rise by at least 15-20%.
