Introducing: Market Shapers with Inder Singh
About this episode
Welcome to Market Shapers — a podcast about harnessing capitalism for good, hosted by Inder Singh, a founder, CEO, and pioneer of the practice of “market shaping.”
The podcast explores how markets can be deliberately structured to drive access, reduce costs, and scale innovation. On this show, Inder sits down with leaders, innovators, and behind-the-scenes dealmakers who’ve changed the way markets work, often in ways most people never see. They’ll unpack how they did it, what they learned, and how those lessons can help tackle the big challenges ahead.
This show challenges the classic view that markets left alone yield optimal outcomes. But it also challenges the skepticism that markets can’t be used as a force for scaling social impact.
