“BHARAT IMPACT” has been established with a mission to nurture budding innovators and entrepreneurs in the social sector. Social start-ups often face unique challenges in scaling their ventures due to their distinct models that prioritize social impact alongside financial sustainability, setting them apart from mainstream start-ups. Recognizing this, BHARAT IMPACT aims to bridge the gap between potential and impact by fostering collaboration among past Social Entrepreneur of the Year (SEOY) winners and providing crucial support to social start-ups.

JBF envisions catalyzing positive social change through the establishment of a dedicated incubation centre the “Bharat Impact, an initiative of Jubilant Bhartia Centre for Social Entrepreneurship (JBCSE)” for enterprises addressing Sustainable Development Goals in India.

“BHARAT IMPACT” is fostering and supporting startups that address global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through innovative and sustainable solutions. To amplify its impact, “Bharat Impact” seeks to leverage the extensive network and resources through innovation and collaborations. This partnership aims to provide a robust support system for startups, enhancing their capacity to scale and create meaningful change.
