Anushka is the CEO and Founder of myAgro. Anushka is recognized as a Global Leader in designing digital financial tools for smallholder farmers & designing for greater gender inclusion. She’s a serial entrepreneur who has held leadership roles in some of the most awarded and recognized social enterprises in the last two decades – Kiva.org, One Acre Fund, and now myAgro. She’s a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, TED speaker, and Skoll Awardee for Social Entrepreneurship. She lives in Senegal, where she operates from myAgro’s headquarters to oversee all of our work to serve farmers across West Africa. After spending years living and working closely with smallholder farmers, Anushka strongly believes in solutions that support greater autonomy and agency. Savings is an underutilized tool to unlock the services and goods that the working poor want to support their entrepreneurial activities and lives. Digital financial tools, such as the ones developed by myAgro, can be a key financial lever to ending poverty in our lifetime for millions of hardworking people.
