Author(s) DR. SARMITA GUHA RAY
Country India
Abstract This study examines the relationship between India’s digital transformation, strategic innovation, and entrepreneurial growth, with a comparative look at other emerging economies, especially in Europe. The goal is to explore how digital technologies support startups and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in carving out a niche in the economy and competitive markets, helping them innovate and scale. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research includes case studies to gather insights. Drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV), Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, and Schumpeterian innovation theory, the study offers valuable perspectives for scholars, policymakers, and business leaders. It aims to assess how digital tools help startups and SMEs innovate more effectively and efficiently, while comparing India’s trends with those of more developed European economies to understand where Indian startups stand. Ultimately, the research will enhance the academic discourse on entrepreneurship, guide policy decisions, and provide actionable insights for business entrepreneurs.
