Thrilled to share such an awesome acknowledgement of our South and Southeast Asia Investment Lead, Yash Vardhan Kanoi! Building and investing in emerging markets can sometimes feel like a lonely endeavor, so to be recognized among such a talented group of global professionals is a great privilege. 🚀
🌟Grateful to be included in Forbes 30 Under 30!🌟 I'm deeply honored to be recognized by Forbes. This journey has been filled with learning and growth, and I owe a great deal of gratitude to the team at Alter Global for their unwavering support in our mission to empower high-growth companies in emerging markets. In my journey, I've found that embracing non-linear risks often yields non-linear returns. It began with diving into impact investing when it was fairly nascent, and continued with the decision to work with emerging South and Southeast Asian startups when the ecosystem was in its early days — each step is reflective of this belief. Another key insight I've gained is that true innovation often comes from places we least expect. Working with entrepreneurs in diverse markets has shown me that great ideas and solutions can emerge from any corner of the world, and they totally deserve our support and investment. To my mentors, colleagues, friends, and family — thank you for believing in me. This recognition is as much yours as it is mine. Here’s to continuing this journey and driving meaningful change. #Forbes30Under30 #Gratitude #AlterGlobal #Emergingmarkets
