"This edited volume is one of its kind. By unravelling the meaning of social entrepreneurship, impact measurement, impact investing and sustainable incubators, it promotes scholarship on social entrepreneurship in India, by drawing on a context-sensitive, indigenous perspective"

Jacques Defourny, Director, Centre for Social Economy HEC Liège Management School, University of Liège, Belgium

Addressing the need for further theorisation and operationalisation of social entrepreneurship in India, this edited collection provides a critical and deeper understanding of the social entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Offering empirical cases and presenting a realistic perspective of the social entrepreneurship landscape in India, this collection will undoubtedly be of value to those interested in creating a social and sustainable impact in business and society.
