Abstract
India and the rest of the world are abuzz with talk of social entrepreneurship. People have considered the idea of generosity to be rather appealing. It has the best balance of social responsibility with enterprise, which makes it very alluring and special in its own right. Entrepreneurship is typically associated with commercial pursuits, cutthroat profit-making, and disregard for social advantages or societal well-being. The idea of social entrepreneurship is expanding across the nation as well as across the world, and it has aided in embodying the essence of the capitalist system in the current period of major industrial growth and economic expansion, including India, in a manner that is more significant than ever before. Economic enterprise is more closely associated with economic demands than social enterprise, which focuses more on social requirements. The breadth and importance of social entrepreneurship have increased recently; this paper discusses these subjects. The study article also discusses how social entrepreneurship may impact India’s and other developed countries’ social structures and social fabric, particularly at the base of the hierarchy.
