सार

The tremendous growth of financial technology (FinTech) and digital platforms has brought about a major change in the entrepreneurial environment in emerging economies like India, and has opened a new window of opportunity for digital entrepreneurship among youth. Public policy frameworks and institutional support mechanisms play an important role in boosting entrepreneurial ecosystems and fostering startup activity. However, limited empirical evidence is available on how certain forms of policy and institutional support affect sustainable FinTech venture intentions among the Indian youth. This study focuses on the role of public policy and institutional support in influencing the intention of sustainable digital entrepreneurship and FinTech venture among Indian youth. Government policy support is regulatory facilitation and startup-oriented initiatives, financial support accessibility, funding opportunities, grants and investment mechanisms. Incubation and innovation infrastructure support include mentorship programs, accelerators, and university-based entrepreneurial assistance that improve entrepreneurial competencies. Primary data will be directed to management and commerce students who are between the ages of 18-30 years using a structured questionnaire. The proposed relationships will be analyzed by using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings are expected to provide some empirical insights in understanding how policy-driven and institutional ecosystem factors foster sustainable digital entrepreneurship and FinTech venture intentions among the youth in India and also offer some practical implications for policymakers and educational institutions to build a stronger digital startup ecosystem in India and support India's national development vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
