A social impact bond (SIB), also known as a Pay-for-Success Bond is an agreement with the government or governing authority that gives funds to improve social outcomes in a specified area. The broad objective of the study is to evaluate the awareness of Social Impact Bonds in India in members of the Gen-Z population in Bangalore. The specific objective includes gauging the awareness level of the public, specifically Gen-Z and formulating suggestions to give on the basis of the results collected. This includes exploring the opinion of the respondents on the need of a regulatory body for Social Impact Bonds as well as ethical concerns involved in linking financial returns to social objectives. This study highlights the potential of Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) as transformative financial instruments to address societal challenges in India, such as healthcare, education, and sustainable development.
