Abstract

The case study addresses the issues faced by social entrepreneurs who wish to turn their ‘passion for service’ into an opportunity for creating sustainable organizations for the betterment of the society. In a short span of time, the founders Ayush Bansal and Parvesh Dudani have been successful in creating a strong presence in the market and impacting a large section of the society at the grass-root level. Their aim is to take iDC to the developing nations of the world for counseling and helping the under-privileged students in schools for exposing them to alternatives and enabling them to make informed career choices for a better life. The case highlights the necessity for businesses to collaborate for the development of the society and also the required competencies to become successful social entrepreneurs.
