Title: Mapping regional social enterprise ecosystems in India: Framework and indicators
Abstract: In this paper we briefly review social enterprise in the context of  India before developing a conceptual framework highlighting the  different components that make up a regional social enterprise ecosystem  including entrepreneurs, financial and non-financial support, education  and research, communication, collaboration and networks, government  policy, and the local economy and context. Based on these, we discuss  the availability of relevant data before developing a set of indicators  for describing the components in different regional ecosystems across  India. This paper is the first of a project documenting nine regional  social enterprise ecosystems across India.
