Abstract
Earning by serving the neglected sections of society is the bottom-line of social entrepreneurship. Unlike traditional philanthropists and social workers, who address social problems and endeavour to uplift the conditions of the downtrodden of society, social entrepreneurs try to address social problems at their roots. Instead of giving a hand to the victims of various social systems, they strive to change the system itself. This case enables the reader to understand the evolution of social entrepreneurship, its operating model, and how it is going to change the face of social philanthropy. A structured assignment ''804-046-4'' is available to accompany this case.
