Rural India needs ideas that can deliver inclusive, eco-friendly and sustainable
prosperity. A handful of individuals – better known as social entrepreneurs,
are making a difference by blurring the boundaries between business and social
good. These individuals stand out for their vision, purposefulness, passion,
leadership, innovativeness, risk taking ability, and persistence.


Do you, as an individual aspire to be one such pathfinder, and need a space
that is a live laboratory to hone your instincts and sharpen your abilities? Do
you need an opportunity that prepares you before you launch your dream venture?
Do you simply want to break away from the routine and engage with the
fascinating rural India?
