Abstract:
Social entrepreneurship is the approach of tackling intractable social problems with
entrepreneurial spirit and innovative business acumen. There has been a significant
increase in Indian social entrepreneurs in providing solutions to the problems of the
vulnerable group. Though social entrepreneurship is an emerging trend in India,
there is little academic research on policies and practice of social
entrepreneurship. The study by using ontological meta –analysis would provide a
systematic and systemic analysis of the state of academic research, policies and
practice of social entrepreneurship .It will explore the strengths of and gaps in the
triangular base of academic research, policy landscape, and practice of social
entrepreneurship in India. The study will be an impetus for future research and act as
a road map for policies. This would enable government to identify the strength and
gaps in policies and develop future strategies for policy framework that would enable
an advanced social entrepreneurship ecosystem.
