Abstract
Research and studies in social enterprising domain have seen a remarkable upsurge globally. This is happening because of proven significance of social enterprises on account of their potential in solving numerous social problems specially for people living at the base of pyramid. Number of social enterprises fostering the socio-economic development of various regions across the world are increasing and their roles are continuously evolving. Despite growing importance of social entrepreneurship, the literature in this topic is still fragmented, especially little research was done on key success factors of social enterprises. Moreover, the evolving literature on social enterprises and their role in economic development is puzzled with theoretical inconsistencies and definitional controversies. Thus, presently very little is known about the key success factors which are backbone of any social enterprise operating in any sector. The aim of this paper is to identify and synthesize the key success factors for social enterprises in India.
