]]> Covid-19 exposed various existing business organizations and start-ups to sustenance risk. The dynamics of the business environment changed drastically at an unprecedented rate wherein resilient organizations survived the blow. There is an increased need of exploring new dimensions of business models which serve the socio-economic motive for communal development thinking beyond profits but are agile to adopt latest technology and innovations serving the bottom of the
pyramid. The study exhibits the resilience and agility of social enterprises during current challenging times of pandemic Covid-19 through a case study approach. The research throws light on actions and strategies adopted by social enterprises working in the handloom sector of central India for supporting the marginalized community with short term and longterm strategic measures discussing the challenges faced by three social enterprises (handlooms). It also discusses the strategic importance of social entrepreneurship in developing economies in such challenging times to provide sustainable value creation and social upliftment.
