Abstract : India and the rest of the world are abuzz with talk of social entrepreneurship. People have considered the idea of generosity to be rather appealing. It has the best balance of social responsibility with enterprise, which makes it very alluring and special in its own right. According to experts, this idea also tackles social needs and social innovations as a whole; social entrepreneurship is nothing more than the identification of social needs and meeting those needs through a distinctive social innovation. Although social entrepreneurship is not a new idea, its posture has recently reached new heights. Corporates are now searching for their greater roles in contributing to society in ways that are both commercially and socially advantageous because the Indian government has made CSR more than just a formality. This essay discusses social entrepreneurship, how it emerged in India, examples of different social entrepreneurs there, and the government's and other institutions' roles in fostering it.
