Accelerating Development by Collaborating with Responsible Businesses and Social Entrepreneurs

We believe that social entrepreneurship is the panacea to tackle the dual challenges of poverty and sustainability we face with growing concern in India today. Inequality has doubled in the last 20 years and 400 million people live on less than a dollar a day. Rapidly depleting natural resources means alternative measures must be adopted immediately for environmental sustainability. And yet, India

ns are known for ‘jugaad’, that singular ability to adapt, invent and innovate to change life for the better. Increasingly, social enterprises are seen as units of business acumen committed to identifying and implementing sustainable and profitable solutions to local problems. For effective social growth and reforms, social enterprises cannot act in a vacuum but must develop in tandem with improved public sector services, and responsible business. Vikasa International Center is doggedly committed to championing the cause of social entrepreneurs, and tying this in with corporate investments in social business ventures.

What does the next decade of CSR in India actually look like? A room full of leaders came to T-Hub to find out.

At the Hyderabad CSR Conclave, hosted by Bala Vikasa’s Center for Social and Responsible Business with Telangana Social Impact Group as Facilitation Partner, 150+ CSR heads, corporate foundation leaders, and sustainability practitioners spent an afternoon on one theme: Impact and the Social Stock Exchange.

The message from Dr. Bhaskar Chatterjee, architect of India’s CSR mandate, was clear. CSR is moving into an impact-first era, where results matter more than reporting, and what began as a mandate has grown into something genuinely constructive and collaborative.

The afternoon also marked a milestone: Dr. Chatterjee received a Letter of Association from Bala Vikasa, formalizing his role as Strategic Advisor and Visiting Faculty.

From the role of the Social Stock Exchange in unlocking impact capital, to what honest impact measurement really requires, the conversation stayed refreshingly practical.

A full house on a working afternoon says it all. Thank you to our guests, speakers, and everyone who joined us. This is the first of many.

19 founders. One cohort. And a very good reason to be hopeful.

PrISE 3.0 begins tomorrow.

Over 200 social enterprises applied this year. 130+ were shortlisted. 67 stood in front of a jury. Nineteen now step into months of mentorship, hard questions and real work alongside each other.

They are building in livelihoods, health, education, farm incomes, waste and water. Most of them live inside the very problem they are solving. That is what makes them worth backing.

Congratulations to the PrISE 3.0 cohort. And to every founder who applied and trusted us with their work, thank you. Our door stays open.

A New Cohort. A Shared Vision. A Greater Impact.

The impact amplifies here.
