Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess the literature, on the intersection of technology and social entrepreneurship. It involved conducting analyses by interviewing five entrepreneurs and analyzing the narratives of five governmental organizations that cater to educational needs in Delhi NCR. Through these interviews the study delved into how technology and entrepreneurship impact the access to education for marginalized communities. To analyze both literature and real-life examples from entrepreneurs the ATLAS.ti coding program was employed. Codes and concepts were generated from the data in a manner for analyzing the literature. These codes and concepts were then used deductively to analyze the instances of entrepreneurs using an approach that helps us interpret data and gain new insights. The study filled a gap in knowledge by examining how new technologies can be utilized to create business models that benefit populations. By highlighting the importance of technology among communities for social and economic progress it contributes to the understanding of social innovation and entrepreneurship. Additionally, it provided considerations for technology innovation within contexts. The findings from this research highlighted challenges faced by both social entrepreneurs and organizations working with disadvantaged populations. One major obstacle identified was access to technology. Insufficient financial resources and ineffective resource utilization are also seen as hindrances. Lastly enhancing skills, among groups is emphasized as crucial for effectively promoting education.
