Social Entrepreneurship

Radhika Kakani, owner of Indigo Market, talks about ways to mix social entrepreneurship into a small business owner's bottom line on Monday, June 3, at noon at the Main Library.

"Social Entrepreneurship: Is there an Opportunity for Private Businesses to Have a Social Mission?" is part of the library's Small Business Lunch & Learn series. The program will be held in the second-floor Events Room from noon to 1 p.m. Admission is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch. Coffee and water will be provided by the library.

Ms. Kakani will discuss how businesses with a social mission differ from nonprofit, private, and public corporations; how they work and who is already operating these kinds of businesses; and what is the state of Alabama’ s policy regarding these business types.

Ms Kakani has more than 15 years of experience specializing in French and Indian cuisine coupled with 20 years of consulting experience with a specialization in strategic management, information technology and marketing. She is the owner of Indigo Market, LLC, a for-benefit company in food production and mobile garden manufacturing focused on connecting creative communities together through gastronomy, the art and science of good eating.

The Main Library's Small Business Lunch & Learns are designed to help you explore new ideas to grow your business or to develop your entrepreneurial ambitions. These lectures are free of charge and open to the public.
