Abstract: Very contemporary in nature, this case study deals with the success story of a social entrepreneurial venture in India – Rural Opportunities Production Enterprise (ROPE) International – which was established in 2007. In the backdrop of the entrepreneurial scenario in India over the past 60 years, this case study talks about the new breed of entrepreneurs who have emerged, especially in the last two decades. Further, the bent of new age Indian entrepreneurs towards social entrepreneurship has been substantiated through the case of ROPE. The case study brings to the forefront, some interesting dilemmas and subsequent scope for debate. How long can social entrepreneurial ventures sustain themselves, more so if they are for-profit organisations? The case study also deliberates on the scalability and effectiveness of the business models of these social entrepreneurs.
