The Khemka Forum 2010 took place on 11 and 12 November at the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad. In between an impassioned opening plea from SKS Microfinance Chairman Vikram Akula for the whole social sector to mobilize in support of microfinance in Andhra Pradesh and a lively closing exchange between an entrepreneur and an academic on the very identity of social business, participants continued to build a rapidly evolving network and ecosystem for impact investing and social entrepreneurship in India.

The annual forum, sponsored by the Nand & Jeet Khemka Foundation, brought together about 130 social sector players at the Indian School of Business for two days of panel discussions and opportunities for funders, investors, social entrepreneurs, capacity-building organizations and thought leaders to connect with each other.
