企業家精神對一個國家的經濟做出了寶貴的貢獻，並提高了就業率、財富和生活水平。
創業企業是印度經濟的支柱，對 GDP 的貢獻率約為 37%。印度是一個發展中國家， 擁
有世界上最多的青年，未來幾年不斷增長的人口需要越來越多的就業機會。為了應 對不
斷增加的失業率和促進經濟發展，印度政府在過去幾年推出了針對初創企業的新 政策和
投資機會。印度的初創公司數量日益增加，年增長率為 10-12%。然而，大多數創業公司
都沒有成功，新的創業公司在 2-5 年內就會失敗。本研究的目的是確定印度創業的關鍵
成功因素。為瞭解創業的成功因素，我們邀請了包含企業 CEO、董事、創始人、所有者、
管理者在內的 15 位專家參與了德菲法的調查。數據在第一輪是採取開放式問卷的方式進
行收集，而在第二輪和第三輪則是使用李克特式量表進行搜集。 在三輪問卷中就創業的
20 個關鍵成功因素達成了共識。據專家闡述，成功最重要的因素是自尊、願意採取創業
行動、領導力、誠實、團隊合作能力、企業家技能和自信 心。本研究中確定的成功關鍵
因素可為企業家、管理層和政策制定者提供指導，以促 進新業務的成功。這些結果還表
明，培訓對於印度背景下的創業成功是必要的。研究 結果將進一步增進對創業成功
的理解。

Entrepreneurship makes a valuable contribution to the economies of a nation and improves the employment rate, wealth, and standard of living. Entrepreneurial ventures are the backbone of the Indian economy and contribute around 37% to the GDP. India is a developing country with the world’s largest youth and growing population needs more and more employment in coming years. To deal with the increasing unemployment and to boost the economy, new policies and investment opportunities for startups are promoted by the Indian government in past years. The number of startups is increasing day by day in India with an annual growth of 10-12%. However, most of the startups are not succeeding, and new ventures fail within 2-5 years. The purpose of this study is to identify the key success factors for entrepreneurship in India. A Delphi research
method was used with the collaboration of expert panels on entrepreneurship. A total of 15 experts including CEOs, directors, founders, owners, managers of enterprises participated in the Delphi survey. The data was collected using open-ended questionnaires in rounds 1 and a Likert type scale of importance in rounds 2 and 3. The three-round of questionnaires arrived at a consensus on the 20 key success factors for entrepreneurship. According to the experts, the most important factors are self-esteem, Willingness to Take Entrepreneurial Action, Leadership, and Honesty, The ability for teamwork, Entrepreneur skills, and Self-confidence. The key success factors identified in this study provide guidelines for entrepreneurs, management, andpolicymakers for enhancing new business success. These results also recommended that thetraining is necessary for the success of entrepreneurship in the Indian context. The findings will further deepen the understanding and enhance the existing literature on the success of entrepreneurship.
