Abstract: The study empirically examines the impact of entrepreneurial intention and training on the performance of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The study is based on a sample of 298 indigenous women entrepreneurs working in India. A structure equation model has been used to analyse the hypotheses formulated in the study. The results highlighted that the performance of MSMEs is significantly influenced by the entrepreneurial intention and training of indigenous women entrepreneurs. However, entrepreneurial intention has a higher degree of influence on the firm performance compared to entrepreneurial training received by indigenous women entrepreneurs. Policymakers and development practitioners could effectively refer to the study's findings to identify how entrepreneurial intention and training stimulate or deter the creation and development of women enterprises across the marginalised communities in India.
