Social Entrepreneurship

For 14 years, JBF, in partnership with the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship (a sister organisation of the World Economic Forum), has promoted social entrepreneurship in India. Together, they recognise and award promising and successful social entrepreneurs who excel in creating large-scale, system-changing models. These social entrepreneurs implement practical and sustainable solutions to address challenges in health, education, environment, access to technology, and job creation. Winners receive opportunities to participate in global events, including a three-year structured program designed to help them scale their solutions to reach millions worldwide. Additionally, they are eligible to apply for the Hindustan Times Fellowship for the Stanford Seed Transformation program, further enabling them to amplify their social impact.
