Abstract
Universities acting as catalyst for entrepreneurial
activities are central to the phenomenon of academic
entrepreneurship. Lack of appropriate academic
entrepreneurship models has hindered the smooth
transfer of knowledge/technology from university
to industry in India. The study explores the synergy
between the academia and industry through academic
entrepreneurship which is crucial to develop a world
class higher education system. This paper attempts
to understand the processes and stages of academic
entrepreneurship activities besides focussing on
education and entrepreneurship in India. Further,
it discusses a few models and frameworks which
integrate academic entrepreneurship, economic
development and education in developing countries.
The paper concludes with the argument that it is
essential to restructure education/research to enable
its integration within the economy which nurtures
entrepreneurship.
Keywords: Academic Entrepreneurship, Education, India, Universities
