Legatum Institute Survey of Entrepreneurs: India

Entrepreneurship has become a popular topic in recent years and yet very little is known about what entrepreneurs themselves think. What motivates them? What do they think about India’s economy and the possibilities it affords? What are the hindrances to continued prosperity? The present survey provides answers to these and many other questions.

This report is the inaugural edition of the Legatum Institute’s Survey of Entrepreneurs: India, a series of detailed online surveys of entrepreneurs and senior managers of Indian enterprises. It surveys 2357 individuals, nearly 1100 of whom own their own business. More than 700 are senior managers of existing enterprises, and another group of nearly 500 individuals are aspiring entrepreneurs. It is one of the largest surveys of entrepreneurs in the world. The survey, which was conducted by YouGov between August and October 2009, allows us to “get inside the mind” of India’s enterprising class and yields insights important for business leaders, educators, investors, policymakers, and the media.
