GEM - INDIA Reports
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) is a global study conducted by the GEM consortium with the aim of collecting internationally comparative primary data on entrepreneurial activity and its related concepts. The study aims to generate globally comparative data to understand entrepreneurial activity. This would help identify factors determining national levels of entrepreneurial activity, as well as policies aimed at enhancing entrepreneurial activity. It measures entrepreneurship through surveys and interviews of field experts conducted by the teams in the respective countries. The GEM survey generates various relevant primary data 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, established business, and discontinuation).
The GEM Report 2022–2023 throws light on entrepreneurial activities in India. The report also highlights the recovery of entrepreneurial activities in India from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The GEM India study was conducted using a well-established GEM research methodology that is consistent across all participating countries, thus enabling cross-country comparison. The APS was conducted among 2610 samples and provided information regarding the level of entrepreneurial activity in the country based on the conditions of the national framework. In contrast, the NES was conducted with 72 national experts. The NES focuses on the entrepreneurial start-up ecosystem in India with regard to nine entrepreneurial framework conditions (EFCs).

GEM Study 2014 found that in India,4.1 per cent of adults are “nascent entrepreneurs” (actively involved in setting up a business), while 2.5 per cent are “new business owners” (in operation for more than 3 months but less than 42 months). Combining both these rates gives us the Total Early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) rate, meaning that 6.6 per cent of the Indian adult population—or 1 in every 14 adults—is engaged in some form of early-stage entrepreneurial activity. The National Experts’ Survey reveals while the Indian economy is dynamic and the overall business climate good, there is a need to develop entrepreneurship on the margins of society to achieve inclusive growth. Furthermore, to improve levels of business sustainability, systems of entrepreneurial education, training, and development must be put into place. Comparing the perceptions among male and female respondents, fear of failure, which prevents individuals from starting a business, is similar (51% for males and 48% for females). However, female respondents have lower scores on perceived capabilities (43%) and perceived opportunities (41%) than their male counterpart.

Entrepreneurship in India is a less desirable career choice when compared to BRIC and factor-driven economies. This, despite the fact that the recognition of entrepreneurship on the parameters of ‘high status’ and ‘media attention’ is not far below the figures of BRIC countries. While comparing regions, Western India comes across as more favorable toward entrepreneurship.While South and North India fare closer to average, Eastern India shows a conservative attitude toward entrepreneurship. In the GEM India Report 2013, the Total Early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) is 9.9% for India. Indian TEA rate is lower than the average of efficiency-driven nations. In fact, India has the lowest TEA rate after Algeria, among all factor-driven economies (21%). The rate of business discontinuance is anticipated to be the highest in factor-driven economies. However, India’s entrepreneurial exit rate is the second lowest among all GEM countries, which is indeed a positive factor.For the detailed findings of the study, the report can be downloaded:
