India needs a significant capital injection to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target by 2030 and deal with climate change. Impact investing, catalyzing philanthropic and commercial capital, offers promise in addressing critical social challenges. Initiatives like the Social Stock Exchange (SSE) and regulatory amendments aim to increase and broaden the pooled funds available to social enterprises and help them scale.

Given this context, ANDE South Asia produced this explainer in collaboration with Trilegal and TrustLaw, Thomson Reuters Foundation, to provide focused guidance on how local and foreign impact investors can leverage the SSE to make investments in social enterprises in India.
