Social Stock Exchange
SSE Services
The Social Stock Exchange (SSE) set up in 2019 is an excellent avenue for social organizations to raise funds while diversifying the sources. Sustainability & growth requires funding which depends on proven credibility, enhanced visibility and access to multiple sources of funding. SEBI regulated Social Stock Exchange on NSE and BSE is one such platform that provides opportunity for social sector organizations to secure funding.
Any aspiring NPO looking forward to being sustainable, scaling up and enhance its impact cannot afford to miss this opportunity of getting on SSE board and early movers will have their advantage in the marketplace. There are several benefits to be on SSE:
- Increased Funding Opportunities
- Enhanced Credibility
- Transparency and Accountability
This has placed the NPOs to start thinking beyond FCRA and CSR. Also, strategies of diversification of funding, projects, risk stratification, etc have come for board level discussions on a regular basis instead of an annual review. As a founder or leader of an NPO, you might need to answer the following questions:
- How do you prepare yourself for this leap?
- How do you take advantage of the SSE platform
- Are you equipped in terms of their processes, compliances and finances
- Getting ready for increased transparency, accountability and quality impact assessment.
- How do you navigate all these regulatory and paperwork in such a short time?
We at Seva Tarang foundation, an NGO, have carved out a separate service where we are with the organization throughout the process from getting ready to post listing compliances. We are the only organization addressing both sides of the exchange – The issuer side (supply) and the Investor side (demand). Both need to be strengthened to make the Exchange grow.

SSE is a new development in the social sector and not many are aware of its purpose, utility and nuances. Some who have heard about it have several queries and misconceptions. Our service starts with creating this awareness and removing doubts.
Depending on the level of readiness of the organization, the entire process till listing runs over 18–24-week process. It could be shorter for those who have compliances in place and a well-conceived project designed for the fundraise. We work with the organizations in this entire process.
Often organizations do not know potential investors who could be tapped. We help them identify and assist in making pitches to them.
Wherever necessary, we work with our affiliated service partners, in areas such as social audit, impact assessment, legal drafting of contracts (if required), regularizing past compliances, etc.
