The Indian social entrepreneurship of the year award was set up in 2005 by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, to give promising individuals and organizations at the stage of scaling/replicating their ideas across India and other countries, the kind of help and recognition they need to do just that. It provides a platform to showcase work, important networking opportunities and exposure at prominent international forums such as the regional and annual meetings of the World Economic Forum, and the young global leaders.
