Abstract: Social entrepreneurship has grown rapidly as a movement in developing countries, and especially India. Social entrepreneurs seek to solve issues caused by market failures in the private and public sector, by creating a nexus between profitability as well as creating socially sustainable solutions, often targeted towards the poor and marginalized communities. Given the unique role played by social enterprises in the economy, a relevant debate is whether government intervention to incentivize the same is desirable when the sector is geared to target issues which the government has proven incapable of doing. However, in several countries including India, social enterprises would not have achieved a large scale if not for institutional support. This paper will analyze this contemporary debate and shed light on the various advantages and disadvantages of government intervention in the sector, as well as pose policy recommendations for the better integration of a hybridized partnership between governments and social entrepreneurs.
