NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

We are thrilled to invite you to apply for ANDE’s Investment Manager Training (IMT), taking place from June 2-6, 2025 in Bangalore, India. This intensive five-day boot camp, led by John Kohler, Executive Fellow and Director of Impact Capital Innovation at the Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship, offers a deep dive into all aspects of investing in small and growing businesses (SGBs).

The IMT held in Mumbai in 2024 attracted 18 participants from investors and Entrepreneur Support Organizations’ (ESOs’) like Kois, UCInclusive, Acumen, and Technoserve to name a few.

Whether you’re currently assessing investments in the SGB sector or looking to enter this field, the IMT will provide you with the essential tools and insights, covering everything from deal sourcing and due diligence to exit strategies. This edition will focus on waste management and circularity in India, aligning with the country’s growing emphasis on sustainability and impact investing.

ANDE has a strong legacy of delivering impactful training programs, having trained over 450 alumni in nine countries. Past participants have rated the IMT with an impressive Net Promoter Score of 94, highlighting its value as a premier learning experience in the investment space.
