Social Entrepreneurship

Social Entrepreneurship
We believe that social entrepreneurship
is the panacea to tackle the dual
challenges of poverty and sustainability
we face with growing concern in India
today.

Inequality has doubled in the

last 20 years and 400 million
people live on less than a dollar a
day.

Rapidly
depleting
natural
resources
means
alternative
measures
must
be
adopted
immediately for environmental
sustainability.
