ABSTRACT: Social enterprise and consequently social entrepreneurs have emerged as an identifiable sector in the Indian and global. Social entrepreneurship has seen rapid growth in India in the past few decades, especially among the youth which seek to balance economic outcomes with social good in both urban and rural spaces. With the devastation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, social entrepreneurs in India have achieved great strides in providing relief which is participatory and community driven. This paper draws upon literature examining the nature of social enterprise and examples of successful enterprises working with local communities, to examine hyperlocal approaches to social entrepreneurship. This paper argues that providing support for hyperlocal approaches is crucial to sustainable economic recovery after the pandemic and supporting tailored impact over scalability can achieve results which truly involve the communities towards which they are targeted. Moreover, focusing on hyperlocal approaches can enable women and marginalized social entrepreneurs to achieve independence in a historically male dominated arena. This paper concludes by enumerating avenues for potential research in the field.
