Abstract | Social entrepreneurship represents a transformative approach to addressing societal challenges by blending innovation with sustainability. With an estimated two million social enterprises, India boasts one of the world's most dynamic social entrepreneurship ecosystems. Social enterprises in the country predominantly focus on seven high-impact sectors: agriculture, clean energy, health, financial inclusion, water and sanitation, and education. Academic institutions in India have a vital role in cultivating socially-conscious leaders capable of driving significant change in these areas. This article delves into the pivotal contributions of Indian academic institutions in fostering social entrepreneurship, emphasizing empathy-driven education, curriculum development, hands-on learning, and strategic collaborations. It also examines existing challenges, including the operational hurdles faced by incubators, the gap in students' understanding of real-world problems, and the disproportionate focus on technology-based solutions, offering actionable recommendations to bridge these divides |
