ABOUT IIC
I
mpact Investors Council (IIC) is the industry
association of all Impact
Investors
in
India.
Impact Investors are
financial inves-tors who
invest in social enterprises to deliver
social (and environmental) impact to the
poor in sectors such as Agriculture, Financial Inclusion, Affordable Education &
Healthcare, Water & Sanitation, Clean
Energy, Livelihoods, etc. Impact Investors
use the power of financial markets and
social entrepreneur-ship to deliver such
impact. IIC seeks to develop impact
investing in India by focusing on research
& policy support, impact measurement &
standardiza-tion and self-regulation. IIC is
a Section 8 company and social entrepreneurs seeking capital or LPs seek-ing
investment opportunities can write to us
at www.iiic.inImpact investors specifically
seek to deploy “patient capital” in enterprises that are traditionally not considered
investment-worthy by mainstream venture capital and private equity funds. They
tend to stay invested longer in their enterprises as they seek to create positive
social impact in addition to financial
returns. These enterprises must serve
low-income populations as consumers,
distributors, suppliers or employees.
Their impact is assessed through measurement of increased financial discipline,
access to l livelihood opportunities,
improved education and health indicators,
etc. Therefore, despite high activity in
India, there have only about 30 exits till
date. Since 2000, when the first impact
investment fund was established in India, $
2 billion of cumulative capital has been
invested by 50+ funds in 300+ social
enterprises. We are currently at $400$500 million annual investment run rate
while globally this is $9 billion. IIC is working towards enhancing the impact investing ecosystem and help India grow to $1
billion annual investment run-rate by
2020. India is ground zero and a world
leader for innovations in impact investing;
IIC is committed to retaining and expanding our global lead!

ABOUT DELHI
Delhi is the heart of India.
Literally and figuratively, this expression is very fitting for this capital city of a country
that is so old and cultur-ally rich, at the same time is zooming towards the future.India
is one of the countries to look forward to in the next decades*. (From a report by
Goldman Sachs on Brazil, Russia, India and China as the countries to look forward to
in the next millenium. According to the report, by 2050 the combined economies of
the BRICs could eclipse the combined economies of the current richest countries of
the world.) .
City of Immense possibilities
Delhi is an amalgam of many cultures, with a foothold in the past; it is also gaining in
importance and signifi-cance as a powerhouse for the future. Delhi is a city dotted with
ancient monuments, yet building infrastructure for the future. The city offers one a
glimpse of India's religious diversity, yet retains the essence of each culture (the ancient
Indian, the Mughal, the British) in its purest form.It is a place where you can find a good
meal for $ 1 to $ 100.Beautiful gardens offering the opportunity for leisurely walks are
located steps awayfrom busy political and business corridors. Welcome! Or as we say
in Hindi, Swagat!

Travel Around Delhi - 3 Days Itinerary
No trip to Delhi is complete without the Taj Mahal at Agra(about 4 hours from Delhi). We
have also included the rustic Jaipur in what is often called the ‘Golden Triangle Trip’.
So here goes… Delhi, Agra and Jaipur in three hectic days.
Day1 Take a tour around Delhi and its myriad attractions. Visit the various monuments,
forts and memorials. Break for lunch at Chandni Chowk for a taste of the authentic cuisine.
Chandni Chowk is famous for its eateries as well. One such is the Paranthe Wali Gali a
famous gourmet locality well-known for its Indian breads or paranthas.
Some of the cooks in these eateries are descendants of the cooks of the emperors of the
bygone eras.Continue with the visits and complete the day with a late night entertainment
at one of the recommended places. Maybe a Bollywood movie, a concert, or the disco? Pick
your choice from the various options available.
Day2 On the morning of day two, visit the Taj Mahal in Agra. A truly amazing sight and a
must see. Agra is about 205 kms from the city and the drive will take about 4 -5 hours. The
Taj Mahal as one of the seven wonders is an attraction not to be missed. Its amazing; its
breathtaking; it leaves you very sentimental; brings tears into your eyes; we’ll let you fill in
the adjectives by yourselves.
The next stop after the Taj Mahal is Fatehpur Sikri just outside Agra, which was established
by the great Mughal emperor Akbar. This is yet another one of the finest examples of Mughal
architecture. Don’t miss the tomb of Salim Chishti in white marble among the rest of the
buildings in red sandstone.
Leave for Jaipur the same day. Stay overnight at Jaipur
19
Note: Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays.
TRAVEL TIPS & ESSENTIALS
Day3
You’ve experienced the city, you got a slice of the history and architecture at Agra. Now
its time for some rustic experiences.
Jaipur is a favoured tourist destination, with its magnificent mahals and bustling bazaars.
The attractions range from architectural splendours like the Hawa Mahal, City Palace,
Amer Fort and observatory – Jantar Mantar, (similar to the one in Delhi but on a grander
scale), to adventurous rides on elephants and camels and a whole lot more.
Jaipur visited, get back to Delhi in time for dinner of a sumptuous spread in a wide range
of cuisine. Check out the many restaurants that are popular and offer a variety of spreads
that is sure to tantalize your taste buds.
You have visited seen and experienced quite a bit of Delhi and its neighbouring destinations, but that was just a slice. There is still so much history and culture left to see. Perhaps on another trip!
Distance
Delhi to Agra is 204 kms
Jaipur to New Delhi is 259 Kms

ABOUT MUMBAI
The beat time to visit Mumbai is between October and February. The temperature
during these months are neither very hot nor very cold. The azure sky and the cool
