INDIAN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

This book offers innovative insights into the factors, issues, and instruments that foster entrepreneurship and innovation in India—the fastest-growing economy in the world. India's future hinges on the capacity of its people and organizations to identify and develop new products, services, organizations, and new forms of economic and social engagement with producers, consumers, institutions, and citizens.

The book focuses on four critical factors—people, technology, organizations, and society—and evaluates how Indian entrepreneurs use their competencies and entrepreneurial skills in both local and transnational environments. It explores how technological development, especially in software, and the reorganization of public research infrastructure are reshaping India's organizational capabilities and fostering new enterprises.

Furthermore, the book examines the role of socially-driven entrepreneurship and community-based innovation in urban and rural areas, particularly those centered around the arts and culture, in promoting social transformation. Through real-world case studies, the book illustrates India’s unique entrepreneurial capabilities and how adversity, sustainability, and culture can be powerful catalysts for enterprise creation.

With contributions from various experts, this book offers a deep understanding of the multifaceted nature of Indian entrepreneurship, making it a valuable resource for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and academics interested in India’s growing innovation landscape.
