India’s social sector has been evolving in the past decade, with students making drastic shifts from their original streams of engineering, science, literature, medicine, business and so on. The attraction is towards tackling the country’s social issues like gender inequality, poverty, inequitable education, and lack of access to basic amenities among others.

No longer is the social sector open only to the highly privileged or the oppressed when deciding to engage meaningfully with social development. The social impact space is gradually filling with a myriad of passionate and talented individuals from unique backgrounds, bringing with them a diverse skill set.

The last three to four years alone have seen corporate professionals wanting to engage deeply with the social sector, increasingly moving to social purpose organisations. These professionals bring with them specific skills, innovation and experience together with the potential to leapfrog problem-solving in the social sector.
