A Study of Social Stock Exchange as A Boon for Social Business

Abstract

Social enterprises encompass social and environmental concerns alongside commercial objectives. In contrast to charities, social enterprises generate revenue to finance their philanthropic efforts, ensuring sustainability. Given the significant expansion of civil society in recent decades, innovative financial solutions to support these influential organisations are essential. Social enterprises tackle social, economic, and environmental challenges such as hunger, homelessness, disease, pollution, and ignorance. Amidst the growing importance of social enterprises, “ever existing demand balance for funds experienced by social enterprises and how far SSEs have been able to mitigate it in respective countries” is the problem considered in this study. So, Social stock exchanges have emerged as a promising platform to bridge the gap between social enterprises and impact-driven investors, providing a dedicated marketplace to raise capital and drive positive changes.
This study aims to describe how SSEs worldwide work. The first questions how and why SSEs were created, while the second asks how they operate and how they affect global assistance.
In this study, researchers look at how the Social Stock Exchange operates and what its rules are. The proposed structure was compared to different generally accepted architectures using tabular and graphical representations. So, the Indian Social Stock Exchange may benefit from recommendations that are based on the activities of other SSEs worldwide, not only in the Indian market but also globally.
