Sustainable Entrepreneurship and the Global South
Resolving the Energy, Economy, and Environment Trilemma in India
About this book
This book contributes to the emerging global discourse on sustainable entrepreneurship by highlighting its transformative potential to harmonise economic growth with environmental sustainability. It emphasises the role of innovative, sustainability?driven entrepreneurs in reshaping production and consumption practices to achieve just and equitable economic, social, and environmental outcomes. By empirically investigating the renewable energy transitions in India, this book offers valuable perspectives from the Global South, enriching existing frameworks with insights into the unique contexts, opportunities, and challenges in emerging economies.
Through a mixed?methods approach, the research synthesises diverse data sources, including personal interviews, field observations, policy documents, corporate reports, and secondary data analysis. This comprehensive methodology provides a detailed understanding of how sustainable entrepreneurial niches contribute to energy transitions, offering actionable insights for achieving systemic change.
This book intends to serve as a resource for researchers in sustainability; innovation studies; ecological economics; and Science, Technology, and Society (STS) studies. It also provides practical guidance for policymakers and practitioners working at the interface of energy, environment, and entrepreneurship. By integrating theory and practice, this work calls for collaboration among multilevel stakeholders, particularly in the emerging economy contexts, to co?develop sustainability?oriented strategies that drive economic growth while addressing pressing environmental and societal challenges.
