Research Activities

NSRCEL undertakes research about entrepreneurship in the Indian context, as the entrepreneurial challenges in an emerging economy setting are quite different from those of the developed world.

After pioneering the well known Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research in India during the years 2000 to 2002, NSRCEL has since completed many research projects, some of which are listed below
