Abstract:
Start-ups are considered as engine of entrepreneurship development in a country.
Today, Start-ups are mostly being created by young generation by using high
technology methods and tools. These youngsters who venture into a career of
start-up creation are being influenced by certain factors viz. cognitive factors of
entrepreneurship, socio-economic factors of entrepreneurship etc. The current
study is an attempt to identify those factors which are influencing intention for
start-ups among women. This study has used panel data which has been collected
under Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Project (during 2014-2017/18). A
logistic regression technique has been used to test hypotheses placed in this study.
The findings of this study suggest that networking with existing entrepreneurs or
connections with entrepreneurs; knowledge and skill to start a business and
opportunity sensing ability is significantly contributing to start-up intention
among women respondents. Also, the study highlights that the fear of failure does
not influence the entrepreneurial intentions among women in India.
