Abstract:
The entrepreneurial ecosystem in higher education in India has emerged as a
transformative force, fostering innovation, skill development, and economic growth.
This study critically examines the opportunities, challenges, and future pathways of
entrepreneurial ecosystems within Indian higher education institutions. It highlights
the increasing emphasis on entrepreneurship education and start-up culture, driven
by policy initiatives such as the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and
programs like Start-Up India. The paper delves into the integration of
entrepreneurship into the curriculum, industry-academia collaboration, incubation
centers, and funding mechanisms, which collectively create a conducive environment
for nurturing entrepreneurial skills among the youth.
