Abstract: This study investigates the role of social innovations in developing sustainopreneurship in Sri Lanka: a new approach to managing the triple bottom line (TBL). Data were gathered through 15 sustainopreneurs in-depth interviews, and the multiple case study method was used. The findings of the study reveal that sustainopreneurs' affiliation to nature, competition, and government restrictions, sustainopreneurs' exotic exposure and their attitudes towards being responsible to the planet motivates them to do social innovations and sustainopreneurship. Further, the findings disclose several barriers in developing social innovations and sustainopreneurship. As there has been a dearth of studies directed in the area this study contributes to the social innovations and sustainopreneurship literature in many aspects. The recommendations support and give beneficial information to practitioners and policymakers who could help inform future strategies in the arena.
