Think Different for a Change!

What is it about India that truly inspires us? The mere coincidence that we are born within the geographical boundaries of this nation? The fact that we as a people share a common love of movies and cricket? Or the fact that our rich culture and heritage are the envy of the world? We at Sociopreneur believe that it is our history as a nation of overcoming adversity to attain our rightful place in the world which inspires us to dream big!

As a nation, we have fought battles together against many a different foe: against empires, against slavery, and against discrimination! Our dramatic rise post-independence has been characterized by stories of people who have triumphed against the incredible odds placed against them: those who have inspired a generation to follow in their footsteps. But at a time when the political classes project dreamy visions of a rising, dominant India on the world stage, our greatest battles live on: those against disease, hunger, corruption, ignorance and poverty! Who then must answer the call of the working classes, when the stalwarts of politics and big business play deaf to their demands for their day in the sun? Who will be the foot-soldiers driving the social revolution steering India to a TRULY bright future? At Sociopreneur 2011, we challenge you to rise to the occasion for your fellow man as your conscience must have pleaded you to so often before.

WELCOME TO SOCIOPRENEUR 2011!
