social entrepreneurial venture

Although still a long way to go, the business mindset has changed and many companies are abandoning the old paradigm of putting profit before ethics or integrity and have started to look more outward towards helping communities that are in need of what in developed economies would be a given.

You should put together an idea for funding and/or approval. You should focus on one of the following three topics: Rural Mobility, Urban Mobility or Freight, you may choose whichever you prefer so long as its only one. Please note that topics that fall under the broader category of Access to Energy (like renewable energy and so on) are not part of the remit and will not be accepted.
Your proposal must include the following:
1. Your Value Proposition (include both social value proposition and Impact measures that is How will you show that you are creating social impact?)

5. Cost Structure (What are your biggest expenditure areas? How do they change as you
scale up? How would you invest any profits?) Note: This is only a preliminary exercise,

service? A product?)
7. Segments (Who is the customer, i.e. who are the organisations or people who will pay

get out of this initiative?)
8. Channels (How are you reaching your beneficiaries and customers?
