Listen as Kaitlyn and Darshita dive into the genesis of Maanch and how Darshita’s formative years, including her work with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, inspired her entrepreneurship journey.
Globally, ESG assets now total a staggering $2.5 trillion. Maanch offers a software solution that captures data and provides insights for responsible investment stewardship–filling a gap in the market (no, it’s not another ESG ratings provider). This conversation highlights the impact of regional nuances related to the 'Governance' aspect of ESG.
