Social Entrepreneurship

Overview

The Nand & Jeet Khemka Foundation aims to significantly advance the profession of social entrepreneurship in India. We believe that social entrepreneurs have a significant impact on poverty alleviation and promote inclusive growth.

Social entrepreneurs are innovators and pragmatic visionaries who tackle the challenges of poverty, marginalization and other pressing social crises (such as health, education, environment,livelihoods, human rights etc.) through the development and delivery of new products and services. We believe that such innovative, scalable and sustainable social ventures are key levers and accelerators for transformational social change.
