Social Entrepreneurship


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. Social entrepreneurs provide high quality products and services at low cost to the bottom of the pyramid.
