Indigenous Indian Knowledge Systems and Social Entrepreneurship: Bridging Tradition with Innovation

Dr. Dhananjay Salunke Dr. Yashwant Lembhe, Prof. Neha Surve · 2026 · Economic Sciences.

Summary. This paper integrates Indigenous Indian Knowledge Systems with social entrepreneurship, arguing that ancient Indian philosophical concepts like Dharma, Karma, and Seva provide ethical foundations superior to Western market-focused approaches. The authors develop conceptual models showing how traditional Indian wisdom can guide contemporary social enterprises toward community-centered, ecologically balanced practices. They reposition Indian Knowledge Systems as practical, scalable frameworks for sustainable social entrepreneurship rather than merely cultural artifacts.
