In this episode of Turbo Impact, Praveg Patil, Head of Asia Pacific – Impact & Private Equity at M&G Investments, joins host Kenny Chen to examine the next phase of impact investing. Impact private equity can move into the institutional mainstream when positive outcomes are embedded in the business model—turning purpose into a driver of growth and competitive advantage rather than a concession on returns.
Drawing on M&G Catalyst’s global experience, Praveg contrasts innovation-led opportunities in developed markets with the potential to scale proven solutions across emerging economies. The industry’s defining constraint is not a shortage of ideas, but the patient growth capital required to transform promising solutions into commercially significant businesses.
