Abstract
In this study, we have analysed the drivers which affect the growth & performance of start-ups in India. A
questionnaire was prepared to study the drivers behind the ecosystem of start-ups in India and we found
that only 11 factors are more relevant in today’s world for better development of the system. A sample of
73 start-ups in the Indore region was conducted and analysed with the help of the Rotated matrix method.
The factors which were highlighted in the study are the integration of social media, sustainability with
respect to external factors, mentorship, financial stability, and so on. The ecosystem should provide
mentorship where anyone can have guidance for their business and venture. The start-up venture can only
survive when an entrepreneur is willing to take risks and then only he/ she will be able to sustain it.
Keywords: Start-up, ecosystem, entrepreneurs, innovation and creativity
INTRODUCTION
The problem of unemployment is brought on by the fact that although employment
opportunities are expanding, the global population is not keeping up. In both rich and
emerging nations, the number of unemployed people is becoming a strain on the
economies. This circumstance calls for the encouragement of entrepreneurship, which
emphasises increasing the number of people who are self-employed. In recent years,
entrepreneurship has emerged as a highly effective strategy for advancing sustainable
economic growth. It promotes employment opportunities for people, lowers
unemployment, and helps the government spur economic expansion. Its monetary
support promotes social and human welfare, which adds value to society.
For the purpose of achieving the goals of growth, entrepreneurship is actively promoted
in emerging nations. It seems crucial in an entrepreneurial ecosystem to solve the
economy's two main concerns, which are underemployment and unemployment. India
has long provided a nurturing environment for the development of self-reliance and the
promotion of a large number of cutting-edge start-ups that may ultimately have an
influence. According to reports, 90% of Indian start-ups fail within the first five years of
operation, and any start-up that fails during the germination process and does not
continue becomes an orphan.
Start-ups is defined as a business venture which has created through innovative idea and
knowledge to solve the problems of society (Sopjani, 2019). Start-ups have an
appropriate and innovative capacity to create new markets for new goods and services

that are introduced by the business community (OECD, 2016). It is also helpful to develop
a viable business model to meet the market needs (Sopjani, 2019).
There are various variables that might effect a startup's success or failure, but literature
has focused on one main aspect that has a significant impact on product design,
marketing, innovation, and business strategy. Most firms' success has been linked in
large part to funding, according to research.
The majority of startups fail due to a lack of excellent R&D teams and foresight rather
than a lack of funding. Financing has been found to have a strong correlation with
successful innovation. Because they were unable to keep up with the market's cap on
innovation, many businesses were unable to survive. Innovation can be viewed as a
means of survival. A ranking of the 500 biggest firms published by Fortune Magazine in
1955 has come to represent prosperity. Only 71 of those companies are still in operation
60 years later.
The topic of entrepreneurial purpose has been extensively studied, looking at a wide
range of behaviours and using a number of approaches. The Theory of Planned
Behaviour (TPB), developed by Ajzen, is one of the most often used theories for
forecasting behaviour by looking at intention. Despite the abundance of research on
intention and entrepreneurial intention (EI), Armitage and Conner's meta-analysis of 185
pertinent studies found that the majority of studies explained less than 30% of the
variance in predicting behaviour and only about 40% of the variance in predicting
intention. The research on entrepreneurial intention is far from scarce, despite the fact
that the majority of studies on intention have focused on health-related behaviours.
The desire of entrepreneurs to add additional value to their concerns or to extend their
operations is one topic that has escaped researchers' attention. By examining the factors
that influence an entrepreneur's desire to take additional entrepreneurial activity, this
study seeks to fill this vacuum in the pertinent literature. In this regard, this study
employed a novel way to ascertain entrepreneurial intention in contrast to conventional
research methodologies. Self-employed people and business owners were researched.
The core idea is founded on the assumption that it is insufficient to engage only people
who are engaging in entrepreneurial activity for the first time while attempting to explain
entrepreneurship. Studying the second group is equally crucial to have a complete view
of entrepreneurship and the factors that may have an impact on how small businesses
are formed. Those that have a business already.
In order to explain the existence of high-growth entrepreneurship within regions, the idea
of entrepreneurial ecosystems has gained popularity. It focuses on the interaction of
environmental factors that affect people's willingness and ability to engage in
entrepreneurial activities as well as facilitate the start-up process. However, the
theoretical understanding of ecosystems is still in its infancy, making it challenging to
comprehend how they are structured and how they affect start-up entrepreneurship.

LITERATURE REVIEW
(Dr. G Suresh Babu & Dr. K Sridevi) The former Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi
stated about the startup and economic growth of Indian entrepreneurs as a revolutionary
scheme in (2016). Indian citizens are also now more indulge in start-ups and giving
support to run a business. Not only man also a woman from the household are prioritizing
the start-up and also understanding the entrepreneur’s caliber.
It was stated in the year (2018) by the Institute for Business Value (IBV) that the
booming phase has become more crucial because young entrepreneurs are leading the
country’s start-ups. Also, almost 90 percent failed due to the factors which affect the
ecosystem of a start-up which was caused due to lack of financial resources, covid19-
phase, failure of ideas and strategies, production, empowerment, skills, and innovation.
According to the previous research, the sustainability of start-ups is measured on multiple
variables and factors where the importance of “ecosystem” is also defined for the survival
of any start-up. The ecosystem is based on the factor that an entrepreneur deals with on
day to day basis. As featured by (Gompers and Lerner 2004), (Kaplan and Schoar,
2005-2008, et. al) market play a vital role in leading the start-up and financing which will
better link country innovation and development. Innovation and creativity is the strong
pillar of a successful business and every start-up in the world. Internal market dynamics
and the ecosystem of start-ups failed due to not being able to balance the fluctuation of
the market and handled the risk. Many businesses strive for a leading path for
development and failed due to the adverse affection not having proper guidance and
implementation of ideas. It was stated by many authors that the ‘ecosystem of
entrepreneurial growth is interconnected with the leading entrepreneur's heroes who are
investing their career as a businessman, leads the market with innovation and
technologies, increasing the ratio of living a lifestyle with the fashion and spark, creating
business market and competition.
Neeraj (2018) offers a theory of the entrepreneurial ecosystem that predicts that initial
funding of start-ups based on the education, gender, and experienced funder for start-up,
innovation, and strategies for development helps to improve the efficiency and growth of
the entrepreneurial ecosystem. We want to focus on the start-ups that do not only depend
on the initial stages of business but also perform better and are responsible for more job
creation, economic growth, and also responsible for creating new industries, and
business and for revitalizing older ones as stated (Gopalkrishnan, 2017). For
understanding the ecosystem of business to support the work and evaluate better
performance, understand why some business succeeds and some fails. A rapid change
and adaption of digital marketing and technologies development, is necessary for

developing sustainable business and approaching the risk for assessment and
management. For the start-up implementation of strategies, for a prosperous and
sustainable environment for customer trendily and youth beneficiaries.
According to (M Srikanth et al 2021) Innovation is the key driver for economic
development and entrepreneurs. To build the startups and support the business besides
the ideas and innovation pillars should be considered like the policy framework,
governmental support, capitalization, handholding supports, and customer engagements.
According to Mitchell (2002), customer satisfaction and management of internal and
external environments with innovation are good for the sustainability of any business and
its firm’s growth. According to the researchers, the framework is now being designed on
the significant impact of an ecosystem is measured on its evolution and success, to drive
force the competitive advantage into the market. Defined by Isenberg (2011) four key
features of the entrepreneurship ecosystem:
• Every entrepreneurship has become unique and innovative
• The ecosystem consists of six domains- i) an opportune culture, ii) enables policies
and leadership, iii) fund resources and availability of finance, iv) productive
accumulation, v) venture markets for products, vi) institutional and infrastructural
support and development;
• Specified the root causes which has limited practical value in the era of the
entrepreneurial ecosystem;
• Self-sustaining & entrepreneurship development.
(Ibrahim and Mas’ud, 2016) The effectiveness of entrepreneurs' skills is highly growing
evidence of performance and personal factors. Past studies of the factor of entrepreneurs
define how personal factors influence an individual and motivate them to become an
entrepreneur (Taormina & Lao, 2007). (Ibrahim and Mas’ud, 2016) discussed the
environment where the involvement of business and entrepreneur both matters to shape
the business and development. (McDougall et al. 1992) To strategize the business the
startups needs to done substantial research which will helps in new ventures and it will
increased the understanding the performance, process, operational activities. To scaling
the growing venture after running a startup deeper understanding should have by an
entrepreneur and also must generate the new connections and marketability.
Glimpses of Start-ups in India-
As per the Indian government, the start-up initiation has been started and attracts young
entrepreneurs towards the start-up and its importance. The government helping website
has also been designed for the start-up and where you can have mentor guidance to start
your business. Nowadays start-up India showcases the online discovery platform for the
most promising one chosen through various DPIIT and start-up India program is a form
of a virtual profile. (startup.gov) their innovation has been handpicked by experts and has
gone through multiple screenings and evaluations. Proper performance under the
guidance of expertise helps the country’s economic growth.

Methodology
Sample: a sample of 75 start- ups were identified for the purpose in Indore region.
Data collection
The data collection is based on original data that has been gathered through
questionnaires, surveys, and research. This article's goal is to present the study's findings
and an entrepreneur's perceptions as seen from numerous angles. According to
Taleghani's study from 2022, the questionnaires were created. Overall 73 fully filled
questionnaires were analysed for the purpose of the study.
Any startup's impression and viability were assessed based on its ideology. the
evaluation of a person's performance from many startups. to plan and analyse every
aspect of the company's operations.
Data Analysis
The internal and external components of the ecosystem of start-ups served as the
foundation for the questionnaire's framework. We gathered information from the
numerous start-ups' businesses to identify the know-how and gauge their performance in
order to grow up the start-up. The questions were straightforward, precise, and accessible
in order to gauge the variables influencing every start-up's ecology. We distribute the
Google form to individuals who are actively managing the startup and the market. For the
initial round of our study of conduct, knowledge, and experience, we received 73
respondents.
Reliability Test-
• In this study, reliability is utilised to evaluate the components of the startup
ecosystem. The majority of components are based on demographic and fundamental
demand data and simplify information to ensure scale validity. KMO & Bartlett's test
was used to analyse the reliability test, and the result was 0.09. The following
demographical factors, internal, and external factor identification has been done, and
they summarise all the variables:
• Most entrepreneurs are in the range of (20-30Age).
• A single start-up is managed by an entrepreneur, and it doesn't have many
supporters.
• Most are the Food & Fashion start -ups are there.
• The phase known as COVID-19 has the greatest impact on sales.
• People choose to invest their family's money and savings in the firm.

Rotated Matrix-
The Rotated Matrix studied a number of variables, and the highest and lowest variables
aid in understanding the topic in a clear style. They are:
1) Highest Factor is Social media visibility and sustainability- The positive aspect of
social media was seen in the matrix when it was rotated. This platform demonstrates the
acceptance of sustainable startups. The results show that if a start-up uses social media,
its virtual performance and visibility will rise quickly in the future. The market and its
approaches to valuation are thus redefined by creativity and disruptive innovation, which
is why social media is crucial to the long-term success of every start-up. As a result,
research and development have undergone a quick transformation in order to stay ahead
of the competition. The start-up needs more than just a great idea to succeed in the
market; they also need to become more visible to attract more customers and outperform
their competitors.
2) Risk Management & Education - One should not be afraid of danger because they
must need to face it, according to the least important aspect of the rotational matrix.
Danger plays a critical role in survival. In order to lead in the market with their ideas and
innovations, an entrepreneur needs educate oneself on business practises. Every
business stage should include risk assessment, which enables an entrepreneur to
conduct market research and evaluate the risk in order to stay in business and maintain
stability. A risk management plan should be taught to an entrepreneur in the age of
education to assist them deal with the state of the market and the coming consequences,
and to understand how to design the plans. It boosts the possibility for improved
performance, balances during deflationary times, and also adjusts capital incomes
against any problems that may arise throughout the external phase. Every business
owner needs to establish business practises and educate oneself in order to ensure that
they may perform better over time and achieve tremendous success.
3) Factors Analysis -
We used an exploratory component analysis (Kim and Mueller, 1978) to condense the
data. The factors and variables were defined using the SPSS 25.0 programme. The test
was run for analysis. Fig 2

Factor 3- (Mentorship)
Under the direction of the best mentor, an entrepreneur performs better and targets
potential clients. to create a variety of problems and the appropriate plan to handle any
start-ups. Entrepreneurs rely on mentoring to help them succeed in their businesses.
Mentors take care of the demands of beginning and expanding businesses. Mentors
assist business owners in harvesting their expertise, experience, and growth for their
company's reputation. The Indian government is working to promote start-ups in order to
expand the country's economy and raise knowledge of the benefits of becoming an
entrepreneur and running a firm with originality and innovation. Through the government
platform, one may now access mentorship for start-ups and assist themselves in making
it through the business.
Factor 4- (Fear of Failure)
Reasons such as being in the incorrect market, having poor talents, not having enough
resources, relationships, or conducting insufficient market research. Accurate planning
involves strategizing the market objectives in order to maintain the firm and its operation.
The local environment shouldn't be heavily relied upon because it can stunt corporate
growth and lead to failure. In order to achieve effective and efficient functional planning,
market research should be done before an entrepreneur opens a business because the
odds are against the business dealing with it. To operate the start-up with market
potential, a critical analysis must be conducted. When an entrepreneur sets out to run the
company, they can develop into strong leaders, members of teams, and risk takers.
Factor 5- (Exponential growth factor)
The expansion of the company is the startup's key characteristic. The start-up with the
fastest growth can use exponential growth thanks to scalability. to expand the company's
strength and bring in more consumers in order to facilitate future growth. The ability to
run a start-up successfully and the possession of good knowledge and abilities that also
shape and drive business activities are the company's assets. Another is its capacity to
increase sales.
Factor 6- (Traditional Model of Operations)
An entrepreneur must employ traditional business strategies to strategize the market and
allocate resources to a variety of channels in order to improve sales. to use the marketing
mix to reach the goal and locate a prospective market for the creation of new goods and
services. Modern procedures are governed and controlled by traditional techniques.
Factor 7- (Financial stability)
A financial model that must be executed in order to attract customers and produce income
outlines the market to aim for and qualifies the revenue potential for a healthy and
sustainable environment. Entrepreneurs need to understand how to manage a successful
business startup.

FINDINGS
According to a 2017 study by Okra, James, and Nepp, Alexander, risk analysis is a critical
skill that entrepreneurs need to learn. In our analysis of firm survival, the similar
conclusion was reached. The same conclusion was reached in our study, which
demonstrated social media as an important factor along with risk analysis. This finding is
similar to that of Gopalkrishnan's (2017) research, which demonstrated that developing
sustainable businesses requires a quick change and adaptation of digital marketing and
technology. According to M Srikanth et al. 2021, a vibrant ecosystem includes elements
such as a regulatory framework, government backing, capitalization, handholding
supports, and customer engagements. Mentorship was also highlighted as a key factor
in the growth of the ecosystem. The primary drivers of the start-up ecosystem are more
likely to be social media, sustainability, mentorship, and fear of failure.
CONCLUSION
The study's findings identified 11 parameters for evaluating the effectiveness and
sustainability of start-ups. Many startups made it through the covid period, but many of
them suffered losses and couldn't recover. Additionally, we note that more people today,
particularly young Indians, are interested in starting businesses. Indian youth are growing
more inventive and creative, and they are taking part in the development of this start-up.
Our research revealed that an entrepreneur can only thrive if they are willing to take
chances and maintain their business. Additionally, it demonstrated how an entrepreneur
overcomes obstacles and expands their firm. The study's present scenario included an
upgrade to the startup. Additionally, the Indian government is encouraging young people
to start businesses and run them. India's economy will expand, and jobs will be created
as a result. The government of India also provides mentorship where anyone can have
guidance for their business and ventures. They mainly focused on the employment ratio
and economic growth rate. The variables we've found for the startup's sustainability aid
children in understanding the value of mentorship and the relevance of education. Start-

up studies and expertise should be prioritized in Indian education because they would
assist many entrepreneurs in managing and growing their businesses. Under the
mentor's direction, an entrepreneur performs better.
Limitation
Because people are afraid to discuss and share data with others, we have only got a small number of
responses. The disadvantages include insufficient education, a lack of communication, ignorance, and fear
of government regulations. People avoided conversation and were reluctant to divulge information. Start-
up studies and expertise should be prioritized in Indian education because they would assist many
entrepreneurs in managing and growing their businesses. Under the direction of a mentor, an entrepreneur
performs better.
