Approaches to Entrepreneurship Development : the Indian Experience

Abstract

entrepreneurship in India through training and education. It takes a broader view of entrepreneurship development and goes beyond the conventional approach of treating entrepreneurship development as a synonym for startup. The research also encompasses various interventions to promote entrepreneurship that emerge along the life cycles of firms which include pre-startup, startup, survival and growth. Additionaly, this paper argues that entrepreneurship can not be promoted in isolation and needs government’s policy support to mature. Therefore, it highlights the policy framework in which entrepreneurship has germinated and grown in India.
