Abstract : Digital entrepreneurship plays a vital role in India’s sustainable economic development. It promotes innovation, employment generation, and wide-ranging growth. The increase in usage of digital technologies such as e-commerce, mobile platforms, and digital payment system has enabled entrepreneurs to enter wider markets with lower costs. This paper highlights how digital entrepreneurship leads to economic growth by social inclusion and optimum use of resources. Various initiatives taken by government like Digital India have further strengthened the digital ecosystem. Despite various challenges such as digital skill gaps and inadequate access to technology, digital entrepreneurship still remains a significant factor of sustainable development in India.
