Background

About Jayanth Kashyap B.

Senior impact investment professional advancing sustainable development, entrepreneurship, and technology-driven solutions across Asia and Africa. I currently lead the world’s only dedicated impact fund for the textile and apparel sector, the Good Fashion Fund, where I oversee strategy and execution for investments into manufacturers across South and Southeast Asia adopting innovative, resource-efficient, and socially responsible technologies. I’ve built a strong track record of deploying capital directly to textile and apparel SMEs in South Asia, supporting climate resilience, circularity, improved labor conditions, and greater supply chain sustainability. My work sits at the intersection of finance, innovation, and impact, and reflects a commitment to enabling systems change in complex, high-impact industries. I bring deep expertise in cross-border investing, sustainability-linked finance, and stakeholder engagement, coupled with an entrepreneurial mindset and a global network. Whether leading independently or in collaboration, I am consistently focused on delivering scalable, long-term results that align mission with market opportunity and that supports a more just, climate-resilient future. I regularly share insights on supply chain sustainability and impact investing—spotlighting lessons from capital deployment across emerging markets.
