2012 Research Colloquium on Social Entrepreneurship Skoll Center for Social Entrepreneurship
To conceptualize the Social Entrepreneurship Ecosystem in India
To identify and map the constituent organizations of the ecosystem in India
To identify inter-relationships and gaps in the ecosystem
Caveats
This is a work-in-progress
Focus (at this stage) is on “Finding and Mapping” Not on “Analysis and Conclusion”
In that sense, it is more about “Search” Not “Research”
Social Entrepreneurship in India – Growth Trends
Conceptualizing Ecosystem
Ecosystem as Community of Practice (CoP): • “A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share
common concerns, problems, or passions for a domain, and who deepen their knowledge and expertise through interaction on an ongoing basis.” (Wenger, McDermott and Snyder, 2002)
CoP is characterized by (Wenger, 1998): • Mutual Engagement: participation in community, establishing
norms; collaborative relationships • Joint Enterprise: shared understanding of the ‘domain’ • Shared Repertoire: set of community resources
Conceptualizing Ecosystem
CoP (Ecosytem) impact through (Lesser & Storck, 2001): • Decreasing the learning curve for new entrant • Responding more rapidly to new market demands and
challenges • Reducing rework and “re-invention of the wheel” • Spawning innovations
Ecosystems evolve around local contextual conditions (Isenberg, 2010)
Conceptualizing Ecosystem
Social ventures evolve through different stages; the support requirements from the ecosystem differ across stages. • “we do need funding to scale up, but right now my challenge is to
put the organizational systems and processes in place.” • “the sector is at the stage for growth, but where is the pipeline of
talent.” • “we would like to expand the impact through partnerships across
the regions. How do I locate the partners?” Etc.

Emergence of platforms which provide youth and young social entrepreneurs with transformative experiences, early-stage mentoring and role-models, e.g.: • Jagrity Yatra (Journey of Awakening) • National Social Entrepreneurship Forum • Spark the Rise • Villgro Fellowship, Gandhi Fellowship, Piramal Fellowship, etc. • PM’s Rural Development Fellowship
