Social entrepreneurs are people who look at society, identify the big problems, implement innovative solutions that are permanent and change the fabric of society.

To succeed as a social entrepreneur, you need more than a great purpose-driven business idea. Transforming India Initiative by ALC India are pioneers in incubating social start-ups and have incubated 24 organizations over the last 12 years.

Today, TII’s team evaluates what are the 5 BIG values that drive a social-entrepreneur to do what he/she does the best.

1. Creativity: Social entrepreneurs apply creative solutions to traditional business challenges.

2. Passion: 96% of social entrepreneurs surveyed said they were passionate about their work.

3. Leadership: Social enterprises need to challenge the status quo to empower the society and that’s exactly why the need of leadership and great leaders arises in most social enterprises.

4. Drive: 30% of social enterprises around the world show high revenue growth and also sustainable growth in their impact models driven primarily for society. These entrepreneurs have the drive to balance social impact with profit orientation.

5. Motivation: A wish is not strong enough to make a difference. In order to accomplish the greater good for society, the biggest driving force is a strong motivation to achieve.
