Bala Vikasa is positioning itself as a key player in this new dynamic of the Indian development story. Social accountability, ethical business and sustainable development are very important for business success today. Contemporary business is more than ever before evaluating its performance and deriving competitive advantage from tangible social attributes being prevalent throughout its business cycle. Companies are critically appraised by consumers, stakeholders, communities and government based on the demonstration of sustainability in their business performance.
Business today is seeking to promote its brand and social visibility, and engage with stakeholders in seeking social licenses. It is strategizing its corporate social responsibility aimed at business operations sustainability. However, business is yet to manifest its vital role as a partner with the community for social development.

Social Entrepreneurship and Business Responsibility
1. Social Entrepreneurship and Business Responsibility
We believe that social innovation and
entrepreneurship serve as transformational
solutions to issues of poverty and sustainability.
In particular, we nurture and facilitate social
entrepreneurs and micro-entrepreneurs to
realize their social and business goals.
2. WHAT WE ENVISION
We see the evolution of a just and peaceful society taking
place through the teaming up of business – both small and
medium, as well as large industry – with communities,
through the aligning of sustainability with corporate vision;
and through social enterprise and innovation, championing
social change through creative solutions.
HOW WE INTEND TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN
• Social Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship Promotion
and Micro-Enterprise Development: focus on women
and youth
• Facilitating and nurturing MSME’s & Clusters and
existing start ups towards social responsibility
• Offering social and sustainability solutions to six key
sectors (Mining, FMCG, Beverages, Pharma, Textiles
and Paper & Pulp) on meeting social challenges
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Vikasa International Center, a wing of the non-profit
Bala Vikasa, is the culmination of 37 years of working
with communities across 6000 villages in Andhra
Pradesh and Telangana, through various community
driven development programs which have impacted
close to four million rural poor. We bring this intimate
knowledge and experience of sustainable development
to all our collaborations and projects.
It forms the foundation of our philosophy and
approach, which has evolved to meet the needs of
current contexts. Today, we believe that encouraging
and aiding entrepreneurship and social innovation is
crucial to reducing inequality, creating employment
and solving challenges of environmental and social
sustainability.
3. The most important agents in an economy are indubitably its entrepreneurs, and the climate in India today is tuned to that
fact. From government policy to venture capital investments, the entrepreneurial spirit is being linked to economic growth
and creating jobs at the required rate to accommodate a burgeoning youth population. However, it remains a challenge
to promote inclusive entrepreneurship and sustain start-up businesses. Evidently, access to capital and other kinds of
support remain restricted to a few sectors, in the large cities.
