  • Reflections from Organizing National Conferences on Social Entrepreneurship Madhukar Shukla, XLRI Jamshedpur
    Learning about Social Entrepreneurship: Reflections from organizing National Conferences on Social Entrepreneurship Madhukar Shukla, XLRI Jamshedpur Introduction In January 2009, XLRI organized the 1st National Conference on Social Entrepreneurship (NCSE) in its campus in Jamshedpur. The purpose of this two day conference was to bring together some of the prominent social entrepreneurs and developmental professionals on a common platform to showcase their work and share their experiences and solutions to address critical social problems. The theme of the first conference was “Providing Access for Sustainable Development” and correspondingly we invited social sector professionals (from NGOs, social ventures, government agencies, corporate CSR/ foundations, etc.) which were using innovative solutions for providing access to education, to healthcare, to credit and financial services, to market, etc., to the under- served population. The response to the conference was quite positive. It was attended by about 150 sector professionals, academics and students, and about twenty social entrepreneurs participated as speakers over two days. Some of the well-recognized names among speakers included Anshu Gupta (Founder, Goonj), Chetna Gala Sinha (Founder, Mann Deshi Mahila Sahakari Bank), Joe Madiath (Founder and ED, Gram Vikas), Rajeev Khandelwal (Director, Aajeevika Bureau), Samit Ghosh (Ujjivan Bank), Sushmita Ghosh (President Emeritus, Ashoka), and Vijay Mahajan (Founder, BASIX), etc. Encouraged by the response and feedback, both from the participants and speakers, XLRI continued to organize the conference in the coming nine years1. Each conference was designed around an over-arching theme, and individual conference sessions explored specific facets of that theme through the work of practitioners/ speakers (see Table 1). Over the years, the conference hosted about 1200-1300 participants, and more than 200 social entrepreneurs and sector professionals as speakers.
