Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyses factors shaping the growth of small firms in India by using large-scale census data of small firms. Consistent with findings from prior research on developed countries, the results suggest that size and age have a negative impact on firm growth. Enterprises managed by women have lower expected growth rates and proprietary firms face lower growth on the whole, especially if they are young firms. Exporting has a positive effect on firm growth, especially for young firms and for female-owned firms. Although some small firms are able to convert knowhow into commercial success, we find that many others are unable to translate it into superior growth.
