ABOUT US
Samata is a Bangla word meaning equality.
Variants of the word mean balance, parity, equilibrium, and equal consideration.
Samata Capital was founded on these principles and the desire to drive equitable and inclusive
economic growth in emerging markets. Our logo, a bird in flight, reminds us of this mission.
Just as a bird cannot fly with one wing, we believe global prosperity cannot be achieved
unless both men and women are provided with equal opportunities to succeed.
