Businesses have prioritised sustainability development as a key aim and started a variety of sustainability strategies in order to maintain competitiveness in the market. The three major dimensions—economic, social, and environmental—have shifted into the centre of attention for an organization’s sustainable development while acting as crucial benchmarks for raising competitiveness. However prior studies have focused on developed countries and rarely considered the SME sector. Given the research gap, this paper examines the influence of different dimensions of sustainable development practices on small business performance. A sample of 197 Indian small businesses was considered and regression analysis was used. According to the survey results, SMEs implement sustainability practices related to their businesses, which improves the company’s performance. Successful businesses that go above and beyond their economic responsibilities to promote environmental projects and social well- being can achieve greater financial success. The findings of this research add to existing theories and help to establish sustainable practices in developing countries.
