The dynamics of the business environment changed drastically at an unprecedented rate wherein resilient organizations survived the blow. There is an increased need of exploring new dimensions of business models which serve the socioeconomic motive for communal development thinking beyond profits but are agile to adopt latest technology and innovations serving the bottom of the pyramid. The study exhibits the resilience and agility of social enterprises during current challenging times of pandemic Covid-19 through a case study approach. The research throws light on actions and strategies adopted by social enterprises working in the handloom sector of central India for supporting the marginalized community with short term and longterm strategic measures discussing the challenges faced by three social enterprises (handlooms).

Handlooms has not only being a crucial sector for economic development but always displayed the rich socio cultural diversity of India. Handloom industry the second largest employment generator in rural India after agricultural, is contributing significantly in Exports too. However, it is going through tough times in the recent past due to internationalization and globalization, when the modern power looms started dominating the traditional industry. As per the Third handloom Census, the industry that generates 77% employment for women has observed an overall decline in the employable weavers from 65.5 lakhs (in 1995-96) to 43 lakhs (2009-10). With the continuous efforts of government to revive the sector through skill development programs and financing activities to increase the productivity and marketing the sector is lagging behind. The study focuses on identifying the challenges and weakness of the sector to suggest a prescriptive solution. To accomplish the objective we have narrowed down by emphasizing on world famous Maheshwari and Chanderi handlooms of Madhya Pradesh, to assess the state of weavers and structural issues. Thus, it relies on both primary and secondary data to suggest remedial measures in a globally competitive market.
