Social Entrepreneurship...

1. What is Social Entrepreneurship?

• Entrepreneurship for a cause, contributing to uplifting standard of living.
  It is your regular business model with Profits and Losses - You can be rich and well established too!!!
• Aim is to create a product/service which is 'purely' for social benefit.
  

2. What are the various areas? (In broad terms, to begin with)

BarCamping

I read about BarCamp (http://barcamp.org/) recently and was exicted to know that these type of forums existed to encourage innovativity.
As I am from Bangalore, India, I was interested to check out if there is any BarCamp activity here. Fortunately, there is one which was organized in the past and now we are getting together for another BarCamp. Visit BarCamp Bangalore Hompe Page for more details and registration...

I will write more in detail of my experiences after taking part.

Getting together

To bring people who are interested in innovating to change the way we live, I have created a new group - www.groups.yahoo.com/group/SocietyForward. Do come and join and let us work towards making this world a better place to live.
