Abstract

This study explores the interplay between social entrepreneurship and India’s economic development. Through mixed-methods research, it uncovers innovative models, socio-economic impacts, and challenges faced by social entrepreneurs. Case studies highlight effective strategies, while quantitative data reveals significant job creation and income enhancement. The research emphasizes the pivotal role of an enabling ecosystem, encompassing policy support and financial structures. Despite hurdles, social entrepreneurship emerges as a potent catalyst for inclusive economic growth and sustainable solutions. This study offers insights into reshaping development paradigms, fostering a more equitable and prosperous trajectory for India.
