The search for the most innovative social entrepreneurs and
their path-breaking business plans has crossed national frontiers.

| Past winners : GSEC |
Kalpavriksha recognises the efforts of Foster Business
School, the proponents of the 9th annual Global Social
Entrepreneurship Competition (GSEC). GSEC is a widely popular platform for the
budding social entrepreneurs of the world with their B-Plans, get mentored by
stalwarts from reputed schools and receive seed funding for implementation of
their projects.
GSEC had partnered with IIM Indore and Kalpavriksha to
provide an opportunity for the winners of Kalpavriksha-2008 to receive a
wildcard entry in the semi-finals of the competition. Team Ahaar eventually
went on to win the GSEC, which went on to show the amazing entrepreneurial
spirit that Kalpavriksha cultivates.
The GSEC application deadline is November 8, 2012. Any
enrolled university student – in any field, at any level of study- is eligible
to apply. GSEC business ideas may focus on any subject area and must address a
problem of poverty in developing countries.
Great news for 2013 :
