- Description
- This research examines the critical success factors and challenges in technopreneurship in India through an extensive case study analysis. Utilizing content coding techniques, qualitative data from emerging technopreneurs is systematically analysed to uncover key themes and patterns. The study focuses on four diverse technopreneurs from Bangalore, selected via purposeful sampling. Bangalore, known as the Silicon Valley of India, hosts a wide array of technopreneurial start-ups, creating a highly competitive environment that demands significant effort for sustainability. Hence Bangalore in the state of Karnataka has been set for the scope of the study. A structured interview with twenty questions has been used to collect the data from the technopreneurs. The interview schedule covered questions related to critical success factors, challenges faced, role of government in supporting technopreneurship, Market opportunities, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), Role of education in technopreneurship, etc. Apart from questions related to technopreneurship few demographic questions such as: Name, age, area of residence, educational background, family support etc. were also covered. The study reveals that educational institutions play a pivotal role in shaping up the technopreneurs which is one of the common threads amongst all the four technopreneurs. In addition, all the four technopreneurs mentioned that to be a successful technopreneurs one has to be updated with the market trends and also take efforts to up skill oneself with the latest technologies and technical metamorphosis. In addition, technopreneurs have to be competitive where they have to hone their technical skills every day due to the global competition. Especially for a metropolitan city like Bangalore, technopreneurship is a challenge because there are already many existing tech-based giants. Hence, being focussed, confident, updated and courageous is the core mantra for successful technopreneurs. 2025 selection and editorial matter, Rajender Kumar, Rahul Sindhwani, Raman Kumar, Punj Lata Singh, and J.
