Abstract

The fast-phased, multi-cultural, tech hub Bangalore accounts for the largest number of the country’s start-ups and the recent study reveals that many of these are having social liability and account for the consistent increase in the number of social enterprises compared to other parts in the country. The existence of the social entrepreneurial ecosystem is the main reason for uplifting the status of Bangalore to the start-up capital of India. Social enterprises are businesses where the surpluses are reinvested for the benefit of society rather than profit maximization. This study focuses on two main components of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Bangalore, i.e., supporting structure and government regulations, which help social enterprises to multiply in this city. Secondary data from various sources are used for this study. The study reveals that Bangalore’s favorable ecosystem such as funding, training, incubation centers and strong government interventions makes it possible for social enterprises to start, grow and nourish.
