Overview:

This book brings together a diverse range of organizations, from grassroots, collectives and self-help groups, to technology-driven enterprises and reimagined institutions, to explore how meaningful change  unfolds  in  complex  social  contexts.

Through 12 essays, the book reveals the ‘Invisible Forces’ that quietly reconfigure how problems are framed, how responses are designed, and how people are included in the process of change. Organized across three thematic parts—Work, Women, and Worldview—it examines how platforms, innovation ecosystems, value chains, collective identity, and empathy-driven design can transform livelihoods, restore dignity, and  reshape  markets.

This book will be a useful resource for management students studying social innovation, policymakers, and administrators seeking to understand the human forces powering India’s rise, and for those wanting to  decode  the  emergence  of  a  new  India  from  its  colonial  past.

• Organised into three thematic parts with 12 essays, examining how platforms, innovation ecosystems, value chains, collective identity, and empathy-driven design can transform livelihoods, restore dignity, and  reshape  markets.
