NANTHINI KUMARARAJAN, 2021 Mosaic Fellow

Nanthini is a first-year student pursuing a joint MBA and MA in International Studies at The Wharton School and at The Lauder Institute of the University of Pennsylvania. Nanthini was born in India and raised in Singapore, before she moved to the United Kingdom to pursue a BA in Economics and Management at the University of Oxford. She started her career in consulting at McKinsey and Company in the London office, where she worked on strategy and corporate finance projects in Europe and Africa, with a focus on consumer, education and social impact. Nanthini also has operating experience, as she spent 1.5 years on secondment at M-KOPA, a leading growth-stage company and social enterprise in East Africa. This experience strengthened her belief in the power of the private sector to drive social impact and piqued her interest in impact investing. Nanthini has internship experience in investing, across venture capital, private equity and public equity, and is looking forward to further strengthening her experience through the Mosaic Fellowship.
