    Leading Social Investment in Asia
    Oct 15 2025
    This September, around 1,500 people from the world of business, investment, and policy gathered in Hong Kong for the 12th annual AVPN Global Conference. AVPN is the largest network of social investors in Asia, consisting of more than 700 organizations spanning 43 countries. Its mission: increase the flow of both human and financial capital to maximize social impact. Today, we begin our four-part series on impact investing in Asia by focusing on leadership. Specifically, we’ll be asking, what defines Asian leadership, and how does it differ from approaches in the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom? We’ll also look at how infusing mission-driven purpose with investing can lead to meaningful change. Host Rob Sachs discusses this topic with AVPN CEO Naina Subberwal Batra and later Brian San, the secretary-general of the Institute of Philanthropy, which was established through a seed grant from the Hong Kong Jockey Club and its Charities Trust. It is currently Asia’s largest philanthropic funder in terms of annual giving. AVPN: Asian Leadership in an Inclusive World is a podcast from AVPN produced by FP Studios.
