Social Entrepreneurship Incubation Center

The MSSW Social Entrepreneurship Incubation Centre was instituted on the premises of Madras School of Social Work in 2019. Originally, the Department of Social Entrepreneurship was started to pave way for social entrepreneurship education. Its aim is to equip the students to deal with social problems through successful business models.

As an extension to this venture, the Social Entrepreneurship Incubation Centre aims at creating a social entrepreneurship ecosystem in the college by encouraging students across the courses in MSSW to get involved in social entrepreneurship. The Centre will provide guidance, mentorship, physical workspace and create networks among fellow social entrepreneurs as well as funding agencies.
