environments around the less privileged sections,
communities and regions.

7. Social Entrepreneurship
We believe that social entrepreneurship
is the panacea to tackle the dual
challenges of poverty and sustainability
we face with growing concern in India
today.

8. Inequality has doubled in the
last 20 years and 400 million
people live on less than a dollar
a day.

9. Rapidly depleting natural
resources means alternative
measures must be adopted
immediately for environmental
sustainability.
