SI Very Brief Background
Technology-based entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial ecosystems that
nurture the same are now recognized as important aspects that help in
shaping the firm-level competitiveness and the national competitiveness
respectively of the regions and countries. The processes of value
creation and value capture are enabled by high-tech start-ups that
assemble and deploy skilled knowledge workers integrating diverse forms of
scientific and knowledge assets to create new products and services
(Bailetti, 2012). The positive externalities created due to the emergence
and growth of high-tech start-ups in any given region enables innovation,
creation of jobs leading to economic development (Kirchhoff and Spencer,
2008; Krishna, 2019). High-tech start-ups and firms also enable generation
of intellectual property (IP) which potentially contributes to firms’
innovation and economic performance. The recent spurt of external VC
investments in Indian high-tech start-ups leading to emergence of more
than a dozen unicorns (start-ups that are valued at USD 1 billion and
above) from India in just the first quarter of 2021 is testimony to the
increased attention that this emergent field has obtained from a variety
of stakeholders.
