Social Entrepreneurship has increased access to finances, improved social inclusion and empowerment, generated jobs, and encouraged the use of social innovations by lowering societal problems. Addressing the challenge of unemployment due to discrimination, we can see many great examples of Transgender social Entrepreneurs who are redefining the potential of Trans community as when they are being denied employment opportunities, they are becoming self-employed and creating employment for their community members. The present study is an Exploratory Review Paper, based on extensive Review on secondary data, aims to find out what Inclusive and Supportive Ecosystem is present in India, and how it is nurturing the Trans-Social Entrepreneurship within transgender community. Also, the current situation of transgender entrepreneurship, the government
policies and programmes available at present in their support and challenges faces with their possible solutions are discussed. The results show that both private and public platforms are available for facilitating the birth and growth of Trans-SocialEntrepreneurship in India, but the problem lies in accessing it due to various reasons mentioned in paper. Also, it is derived from the study that the current situation of transgender entrepreneurship in India is promising towards Employment, Empowerment & Social Inclusion of transgender community.
