Topic:  Social Entrepreneurship and Humanistic Management- a Perspective from India

Social Entrepreneurs solve critical social problems of a society/ community using entrepreneurial strategies. Social entrepreneurship is a specific approach to humanistic management: the protection of dignity and the promotion of well being. Since every society has its own set of unique problems as well as enabling and hindering structures and systems, social entrepreneurship as a phenomenon, and its practice and models, are also embedded in the local context. This session will describe the unique nature of Indian social entrepreneurship and its five-fold manifestations/ typology in Indian context.

Host : Ashish Pandey/Professor IIT Bombay—Sushama Kale, Research Associate, IIT Bombay.
