Abstract: Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of digital marketing adoption on firm performance: a case study of small and medium enterprises in India. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The adoption of digital marketing among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in India has led to significant improvements in firm performance. Increased online visibility and reach have resulted in greater customer engagement and acquisition for these businesses. Cost-effectiveness and targeted advertising through digital channels have enhanced ROI compared to traditional marketing methods. SMEs embracing digital marketing have experienced heightened brand awareness and recognition in competitive markets. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Resource-Based View (RBV), Institutional Theory & Innovation Diffusion Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of digital marketing adoption on firm performance: a case study of small and medium enterprises in India. Develop tailored digital marketing training programs and capacity-building initiatives aimed at enhancing the digital literacy and skills of SME owners and employees in India. Policymakers should also prioritize initiatives to improve digital connectivity and access to affordable internet services in rural and underserved areas.
