THE ECONOMY AROUND ETHOS
FOR LONG, SOCIAL IMPACT was driven by philanthropic individuals and sustained by purpose. What we are witnessing today is a clear and positive shift. Social impact is no longer operating at the margins of the economy but moving steadily toward the centre of business thinking to command capital allocation and institutional design. In many ways, this moment marks the corporatisation of social ethos. This is not corporatisation in the conventional sense of profit-first thinking. Instead, it reflects the emergence of structure, discipline and scale in a sector that was once fragmented. With over two million social enterprises operating across the country and nearly $5 billion in impact investments flowing into Indian enterprises in recent years, the contours of a social impact economy are becoming increasingly visible. The lingo in this sector has evolved from “grants” and “programmes” to “models”, “outcomes” and “sustainability”.
