Entrepreneurial mindset is the need of the hour to create economic opportunities for one self
and others. Social Enterprises could go along way in setting up financially feasible viable
pathways for social impact across the SDGs.
Social Entrepreneurship is the fastest growing sector and perhaps the only sector that is creating
gainful employment worldwide. Entrepreneurial mindset recognizes opportunities with
applicability not only in setting up Social Enterprises but also in Responsible Business practices
interfacing with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Government Organizations, CSR initiatives
etc.
The evolution of CSR has led corporates to align CSR with their business activities. This need has
graduated to make CSR sustainable by means of CSR Business Models (CSBM). The progression
towards CSBM would ultimately lead to position CSR as revenue generating verticals and need
of any business to exist. In CSBM, ‘S’ stands for Social as well as Sustainable depending on the
application. In this course Dr Smriti Pahwa demystifies Social Entrepreneurship conceptually &
practically and distils the information through an innovative, entrepreneurial and optimistic
mindset – “MOC” Missed Opportunities Cognizant mindset, the central ideology in her book
“Of Missed Opportunities…One Too Many!”
