About six months ago, I wrote Social Enterprise Jobs in India – Who’s Hiring - a first look at the social enterprise job landscape in India. I wrote a follow-up post in May (SocEnt jobs – Volume 2) which suggested that I’d make it a weekly affair. Clearly the weekly implication has not played out I now present [...]
If you saw a provocative title like this on Twitter, you would click on it, right? I’m glad I did. Just like you’ll be glad you clicked through to this story, or so I hope.

Arghyam is an Indian public charitable foundation setup with an endowment from Rohini Nilekani, working in the water and sanitation sector [...]
During one of the panel discussions at last week’s Sankalp Forum, an interesting conversation emerged.
