Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

A social stock exchange (SSE) links philanthropic capital or impact investors to social enterprises and non-profits seeking funding for developmental causes. SEBI’s framework aims to standardize reporting on social impact, ensuring transparency. Candidates might get asked about the SSE’s role in bridging resource gaps for NGOs, potential benefits (public trust, larger funding base), and challenges like compliance costs or measuring intangible social outcomes. Overall, the SSE concept underscores innovative finance in India’s philanthropic ecosystem.
