Abstract
The present chapter examines how entrepreneurial psychology and motivations drive the entrepreneurial process, specifically among MBA/PGDM students in India. Using qualitative interviews and MAXQDA analysis, it develops an Entrepreneurial Motivational Theory. Findings reveal key motivators such as flexibility, work-life balance, wealth creation, meaningful impact, and personal growth. The study highlights the unique cultural, societal, and economic factors influencing Indian students’ entrepreneurial decisions, offering insights into their motivations.
