This is a group for all South Asian community members and for anyone else who may be interested, to exchange ideas on engaging South Asians more in Acumen Fund's work - especially diaspora community members. Looking forward to the discussions!
NYfA’s mission is to build a community of passionate supporters by hosting a series of educational and fundraising events that raise awareness about Acumen Fund and social entrepreneurship. Since 2009, NYfA has raised over $75,000 for Acumen.
The opportunity to be involved in global development issues I am deeply concerned about, particularly sustainable agriculture; and to interact with individuals and groups with similar, committed interests.

Hi Anjali. Noticed your page here. It's great to see your interest in sustainability and agriculture. I have a keen interest in a more equitable business and supply chain model for farmers. Was wondering if you have any thoughts on that in the Indian context.
Hi Anjali! Just noticed your comment on my wall from last month - sorry it's taken so long to reply. We are actually in the process of creating an Acumen 101 that our community members can use to help us share our story more widely - check back soon for updates :)
Great meeting you last night too! It's the first time I've seen since starting here, but I'm sure there have been other versions of the same "intro to Acumen" event. You should consider doing one for your own networks now that you know so much about us :)
Thank you Anjali!
Reading your profile I would like to email you some materials about my dream-to-realize EQUANIMITY TOOLS - perhaps it shall interest you professionally?
If positive, please email me at: and I will respond soonest (sorry, I don't use Twitter).
Thanks again,
Rubens
