Brief Description:
The Confederation of Indian Industry, in partnership with KPMG has released a report titled “The Social Entrepreneurship Landscape in India and The Way Ahead”, which addresses the key issues regarding social entrepreneurship and its potential future in India. With numerous first-hand accounts from social entrepreneurship experts, it is apparent that the term ‘Social Entrepreneurship’ ought to be adapted and legally defined in the Indian context, in order for it be functional.
Another key aspect that the report addressed was the importance of the ability to bring more clarity about the ecosystem of social entrepreneurship and emphasize the fact that there is scope for setting better terms of transaction amongst investors and other stakeholders. The Social Entrepreneurship landscape has been very promising and in order to leverage its full potential it is critical that we have a more refined financial and legal infrastructure to best address the aspirations of 1.35 billion people. There is also a need to encourage the youth of India to pursue a path in social entrepreneurship to create a much more vibrant ecosystem.
The report was released at the CII Global Startup Summit held from 15 - 17 March 2021.

Brief Description:
The unprecedented pandemic has triggered a continuous demand for novel technology solutions and has also revealed that going forward, disruptive business solutions will be the key for a resilient future.
India has taken the global lead by providing such disruptive and innovative solutions useful for the global community. The country has witnessed launch of more than 55,000 startups to date with more than 3,200 startups raising $63 Bn in funding in the last five and half years alone. It has also the third largest startup ecosystem in the world; expected to witness YoY growth of a consistent annual growth of 12-15%.
Given the role of academia linked Technology Business Incubators (TBIs) for entrepreneurship and its growth, CII has come up with a report to benchmark key performance indicators expected of such TBIs, and also to develop a framework with relevant key performance indicators to measure performance of academic Linked TBI’s in India.
To validate the performance parameters proposed in this report, a survey was conducted seeking details from Academic Linked Incubators. The respondent incubators are from varied domains such as Engineering, Management, Life sciences, Pharmaceutical, Agritech, and Rural technology, with age profiles ranging from 1 to 15 years. The proposed parameters for the TBIs, shall provide a overview of the impact of innovations and entrepreneurial initiatives in academia.
