Entrepreneurship is one of the most important inputs in the economic development of a country. Entrepreneurs play a central role in the economy by establishing firms, which in turn create markets and organizations. An individual engages in entrepreneurial activities before the firm is established and then becomes an owner after the firm is established. In the case of India, Entrepreneur have performed below expectation due to a combination of different problems themselves through environmental related factors, instability of governments and frequent government policy changes etc. Entrepreneurship Promotions should thus ensure the availability or possession of managerial capacity and acumen before pursuing financial resources for the development of the respective enterprise. The aim of the paper is to develop and analyze the contributions of entrepreneurship in the economic development in India. Whereas both the positive as well as the negative impact of entrepreneurship on the economy has been discussed. This can be explained by the fact that India is very much a service-based economy that facilitates small-scale firms. Although the level of entrepreneurship is increasing over time, the quality of the small firms remains rather stable; the share of registered firms remains equal over time. Given the importance of high-quality entrepreneurship for economic development, it seems that increasing the quality of entrepreneurship should be the main focus of policy measures.
