SDG Impact is a flagship UNDP initiative focused on mobilizing private sector capital towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a ‘product-driven’ approach, providing private investors with tangible solutions. SDG Investor Maps are based on a standardized global methodology which aims to translate relevant country level SDG gaps based on national development plans and policy priorities into private sector investment opportunities. The Investor Maps provide investors with relevant market intelligence to highlight investment opportunity areas (IOAs) along with data on the expected development impact for such investments.

The SDG Investor Map for India has been developed by UNDP in partnership with Invest India, the national investment promotion and facilitation agency with the support of the NITI Aayog.

Developed through a consultative process with government stakeholders, think tanks and 40+ leading impact and commercial investors with a view to produce tangible market intelligence. It has identified 18 SDG aligned investment opportunity areas across 6 key sectors which includes Education, Healthcare, Agriculture, Renewable Energy, Financial Services and Waste Management.
