The SSE would function as a separate segment within the existing stock exchange and help social enterprises
raise funds from the public through its mechanism.
It would serve as a medium for enterprises to seek finance for their social initiatives, acquire visibility
and provide increased transparency about fund mobilisation and utilisation.
Any non-profit organisation (NPO) or for-profit social enterprise (FPSEs) that establishes the primacy of social
intent would be recognised as a SE, which will make it eligible to be registered or listed on the SSE.
