Abstract

The 2020-21 GEM Report completes its 22 years of measuring entrepreneurship-related activities. It measures entrepreneurship activities and ecosystem through surveys and interviews of various field experts, conducted by the teams in respective countries. The GEM survey generates a variety of relevant, primary information on different aspects of entrepreneurship and provides harmonised measures about individuals’ attributes and their activities in different phases of venturing (from nascent to start-up to established business and to discontinuation). The GEM Report 2020-21 throws light on entrepreneurial trends and practises amidst changing business and economic contours including impact of COVID-19 Pandemic. We express gratitude to the Centre for Research in Entrepreneurship Education and Development (CREED) for providing financial support for this project. The GEM India Team has been constantly putting in efforts to research the ways and means that could bolster the entrepreneurship scenario so that the entrepreneurs, the lifeblood of economies, continue to perform a potent role.
