This study focuses on understanding the complex relationship between various barriers that impede entrepreneurship, such as Lack of viable concept, Lack of Market Familiarity, Lack of Technical Skills, Social Stigma, Human Resource Issues, Protectionism Monopoly, Legal Issues Patent Inhibition, Lack of Seed Capital, Lack of Managing Finance, Lack of Business Knowhow. The study examines how these barriers interrelate with each other and how they can be independent or autonomous in their impact on entrepreneurship. The research aims to identify the factors that contribute to these barriers and establish parameters that can mitigate the risks they pose. The ISM model serves as the conceptual framework for understanding the interrelationships among individual, startup, and macro environmental factors that influence entrepreneurship. By applying this model, the paper offers insights into how these barriers interact and affect entrepreneurs' ability to establish and sustain their startups. Ultimately, the study aims to optimize the impact of these barriers by identifying the most effective ways to mitigate them, which can help to promote entrepreneurship and drive economic growth.
