Social Stock Exchange for Social Enterprises and Social Incubators: an Exploratory Study for India

This exploratory study examines the concept of a Social Stock Exchange (SSE) for social enterprises and incubators in India. It analyses the framework proposed by SEBI and explores the working models of SSEs in other countries like the UK, Canada, South Africa, and Singapore. The paper aims to understand how an SSE can address financial constraints faced by social enterprises and promote socio-economic upliftment, providing insights into its core components, structure, regulations, eligible entities, investors, and financial instruments.
