Abstract

The increasing globalisation of economies has led to a significant rise in the mobility of people, with Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) playing a vital role in contributing to India's economic development through investments and entrepreneurial ventures. Among various sectors, the food and beverage industry-particularly café or coffee shop models-offers promising opportunities, especially when integrated with cooperative tourism societies. This study explores the feasibility of establishing a café/coffee shop targeting NRIs with a modest investment of ₹6 lakh, emphasising its economic and social potential.

The research examines key aspects such as market dynamics, consumer preferences of NRIз, ﬁnancial viability, and operational strategies within a cooperative framework. It highlights how cooperative tourism societies can provide structural advantages, including shared resources, reduced operational costs, and enhanced community participation. By combining theoretical insights with practical considerations, the study evaluates sustainable business models that align proﬁtability with social impact.

The findings suggest that such ventures can generate employment, promote local entrepreneurship, and strengthen the link between diaspora engagement and regional development. The paper concludes by offering strategic and policy recommendations for NRIз, cooperative institutions, and policymakers to foster sustainable and inclusive growth through small-scale café enterprises.

Integrating Startups for Spices and Herbs Outlets with Cooperative Tourism: Utilizing Kerala's Cooperative credit Sectors for Domestic Development

Abstract

Tourism and agriculture remain central pillars of Kerala’s socio-economic development, with the state’s globally recognised spice heritage offering significant entrepreneurial potential. This study examines the feasibility and strategic development of spice and herb outlet start-ups integrated with cooperative tourism initiatives, supported by Kerala’s cooperative banking sector. The research adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing insights from cooperative economics, tourism development, digital innovation, and network-based systems thinking to explore how community-driven enterprises can be scaled sustainably.

The paper analyses the role of cooperative banking institutions in providing inclusive financial support, facilitating access to credit, and strengthening rural entrepreneurship. It further investigates how digital technologies—such as real-time tracking, data analytics, and machine learning—can enhance supply chain efficiency, price transparency, and customer engagement in spice and herb retail ventures. By applying a network science framework, the study conceptualises the interconnected relationships between farmers, cooperatives, tourism stakeholders, and financial institutions, highlighting the importance of coordination and resilience within these systems.

Technological Entrepreneurship and Start-Up Incubation Ecosystems: Insights into Processes, Innovations, and Global Trends

Sabita Khadka — 2026-04-08

Technological entrepreneurship has emerged as a critical driver of innovation, economic growth, and competitiveness in modern knowledge-based economies. Central to this development are start-up incubation ecosystems, which provide resources, mentorship, networks, and financial support to early-stage ventures. This review presents a comprehensive and critical synthesis of literature on technological entrepreneurship, spanning entrepreneurial processes, incubation mechanisms, behavioral and decision-making dynamics, technological disruption, sustainability, and cross-country ecosystem variations.

The study integrates classical entrepreneurship theories with contemporary developments, including digital platforms, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and global innovation networks, highlighting how traditional incubation models are evolving into digitally interconnected, multi-actor ecosystems. Evidence suggests that modern incubation systems are increasingly adaptive, combining physical infrastructure with virtual resources to accelerate innovation and venture growth. Additionally, the review identifies persistent challenges, such as inconsistent definitions of entrepreneurial ecosystems, limited longitudinal and comparative studies, gaps in understanding ethical implications of emerging technologies, and the underrepresentation of social and sustainable entrepreneurship in technology-driven contexts.

By synthesizing diverse theoretical frameworks, empirical findings, and policy discussions, this review proposes a conceptual model to guide future research, inform incubator design, and support policymakers in fostering resilient, inclusive, and high-impact technological entrepreneurship ecosystems globally. This integrative perspective emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, network dynamics, and digital transformation in shaping the next generation of start-up incubation and innovation strategies.

Technological entrepreneurship has emerged as a cornerstone of innovation-driven economies, underpinned by increasingly sophisticated start-up ecosystems, supportive policies, and digital transformation. This study provides a systematic review of literature on technological entrepreneurship, with a focus on start-up incubation ecosystems, innovation strategies, and policy frameworks. By synthesizing insights from bibliometric and systematic review studies, the paper critically evaluates the evolution of incubation models, the dynamics of entrepreneurial ecosystems, and the impact of technological and digital innovations. The findings highlight a clear shift from localized, institution-centric ecosystems toward globally interconnected, digitally enabled networks, while identifying persistent challenges, including conceptual ambiguity, uneven policy effectiveness, and limited longitudinal research. The study contributes an integrated conceptual framework that links ecosystem actors, innovation processes, and policy mechanisms, offering guidance for future research, policy formulation, and practical implementation in technology-driven entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurial Processes and Decision-Making in Technology Start-Ups: A Systematic Examination

Shankarprasad Bhattacharya — 2026-04-08

Entrepreneurial processes and decision-making are critical determinants of success for technology start-ups operating in uncertain and rapidly evolving environments. This systematic literature review synthesizes research on opportunity recognition, innovation strategies, decision-making behavior, risk management, and strategic adaptation in technology-driven ventures. Drawing on insights from entrepreneurship theory, innovation management, and behavioral sciences, the study identifies key theoretical frameworks, empirical findings, and emerging trends. The review emphasizes the growing influence of digital technologies, data analytics, and artificial intelligence in shaping entrepreneurial cognition, opportunity evaluation, and organizational decision-making. It also highlights persistent gaps, including limited longitudinal research, underexplored cognitive and behavioral biases, and insufficient integration of individual, organizational, and ecosystem-level perspectives. Based on these findings, the paper proposes a multi-level framework linking entrepreneurial cognition, organizational processes, and external ecosystem factors, offering guidance for future research, policy development, and practical implementation in technology entrepreneurship.
