Abstract

The Varshita Venkatesh Written-Word Workshop set up by the author in honour and memory of his wife Varshita, who ascended to her heavenly home in January 2020, can be labelled as a ‘no-income-to-entrepreneur’ social entrepreneurship construct which knits together a swathe of different stakeholders to the ‘Varshita Venkatesh family of charitable funds’, so to say, and uncovers and creates value of different types—economic, social, spiritual, psychological and moral. It has a long way to go, in this ‘value-creating’ journey and contribute to sustainable development in its own humble way.
