The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Survey is the largest annual study of entrepreneurial dynamics in the world. GEM was conceived in 1999 and has since been venerated for the credibility and coverage of its research. With the Indian Entrepreneurial Eco-system becoming robust by the day, the GEM-India Consortium is assuming a major role in probing the rapidly evolving nature and the level of entrepreneurship in India. The GEM-India Consortium is also spreading its wings to involve regional and state level entrepreneurship institutions to ensure maximum reach in researching the multiple dimensions of Indian entrepreneurship.
As the world's foremost study of entrepreneurship, GEM is delighted to have GEM India as part of its international consortium. Having a global presence and impact is essential to GEM. Since India is the world's second most populous country, GEM India brings a rich and valuable contribution to our research. This is all the more so since GEM is the only global source that collects data on entrepreneurship directly from individual entrepreneurs and India is renowned for the entrepreneurial spirit of its people.
