The survey was conducted in over 45 countries of the world, of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial perceptions. EDII, Gandhinagar conducted this GEM India survey with a sample size of 3,317 adults and national level experts.
"The survey has found out that the major indicator of entrepreneurial activity - the TEA - has declined significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the total population in the work age group in 2019-20, TEA was 15 per cent which has declined to 5.34 per cent," EDII Director General and team leader of GEM India Sunil Shukla told PTI.
The survey further noted that the TEA decline is more severe in case of the female youth. Female entrepreneurial activities decreased by 79 per cent, while the male entrepreneurial activities fell by 53 per cent.
Overall entrepreneurial intentions in public had been 33.3 per cent in 2019–20, which fell to 20.31 per cent in 2020–21, the survey said.
Shukla noted that in the Indian context and given its socio-economic challenges as well as its size and scope, entrepreneurship development can bring transformational changes to the socio-economic landscape of the country.
"In this trying times, those who have gone online have survived and thrived. Indian unicorns like Paytm, BYJU's, Swiggy and Zomato have thrived because they were using online," he said.
