India’s 3S Growth Trajectory to 2030: Sustainable Entrepreneurship, Finance, and Social Impact
摘要
Sustainability is changing the global scenario with more and more nations moving towards achieving sustainable goals. The Asian sub-continent has lot of developing nations amongst which India is one. Achievement of UN’s SDG2030 goals is very challenging for India as it has to maintain thin line of balance between its regular economic growth and incorporating social entrepreneurship, sustainable entrepreneurship and sustainable finance. This chapter is based on the backdrop of Institutional theory where the impact of various pressures such as mimetic, normative and coercive forces is taken into consideration. Through this chapter we will take a deep understanding of confluence of sustainable finance, sustainable entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship as three pillars for sustainable growth. For the nation like India which is still in its developmental stage adoption of various sustainable finance options such as green bonds, green finance and sustainability linked loans act as challenge for banks and financial institutions. There are many barriers to adoption of sustainability goals for us in India as we have restricted financial literacy and averse to risk taking attitude. Through conceptual modelling and case-based discussion, the study highlights critical enablers—ranging from ESG disclosure norms and tax incentives to public-private collaborations—that can accelerate India’s Sustainable Development Goals ambitions by 2030. The chapter concludes with a research-backed framework for institutional alignment and policy coherence that positions finance and entrepreneurship as synergistic drivers of sustainable development.
