Where Purpose Meets Profit, Innovation Drives Change

Social Impact & Innovation

Design and Innovation for Social Entrepreneurship (DAISE) represents the social impact arm of CICF, where purpose meets profit and innovation drives meaningful change. As a specialized wing focused exclusively on social entrepreneurship, we believe that the most powerful ventures are those that create value for both shareholders and society.

DAISE guides impact-driven entrepreneurs in building sustainable business models that address critical social and environmental challenges. From rural development and healthcare accessibility to education equity and environmental conservation, we support ventures that tackle society's most pressing issues with innovative, scalable solutions.

"At DAISE, we don't just build businesses—we cultivate movements. We empower changemakers to transform communities, inspire generations, and prove that doing good and doing well are not mutually exclusive."

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

— Mahatma Gandhi
