About
I am a development professional with over 18 years of experience in research, programme implementation, and blended finance design across South Asia and Africa. I have worked closely with communities on the ground and national and international levels with donors, investors, financial institutions structuring capital for startups. Worked at multiple organizations namely IMRB International (Kantar now),BBC Media Action, Digital Green, IPE Global.
I designed the award-winning Mobile Kunji and Mobile Academy platforms now scaled nationally. Experience across various sectors agriculture, health, and nutrition programmes and across India and Africa. At IPE Global, set up and led the SAMRIDH Blended Finance Facility, funded over 90+ start ups through structuring BFF instruments and mentored 90+ funded startups. Developed the Gender Lens Investing Toolkit.
What she brings as a mentor: Ritika has sat on both sides of the table — as an implementer building programmes from the ground up, and as a funder structuring capital for start ups. She knows what breaks in the field, what funders actually look for, and how to bridge the two.
