Abstract: This study investigates the influence of adopting digital technologies (AI-enabled applications, big data analytics (BDA), IOT applications) on firm performance with the mediating effect of social value creation and the moderating role of entrepreneurial marketing in Indian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Based on the dynamic capability view theory, the conceptual model was developed. The data was collected from 265 Indian SMEs. The descriptive analysis through SPSS software and the hypothesis testing through structural equation modelling in SMART PLS 4 software. The results demonstrate that digital technologies positively and significantly affect firm performance. Moreover, the results indicated that social value creation fully mediates the relationship between digital technologies and firm performance. Furthermore, the relationship between digital technologies adoption and firm performance will be strengthened by entrepreneurial marketing. Further, this study will discuss the practical and theoretical implications, limitations and future direction.
