Agriculture addresses crucial issues such as poverty, resource scarcity, and environmental degradation, while promoting inclusive growth and resilience. This study examines the convergence between social entrepreneurship and agriculture in India using two case studies from rural Karnataka, India. This study uses a case study approach to assess the business models, social effects, and sustainability strategies of these companies. Exclusive interviews followed by observations were conducted as part of the study. The findings highlight the transformative impact of agrisocial entrepreneurship on achieving sustainable growth and rural empowerment through rural employment generation, migration prevention, and supportive income generation for rural women.
