Abstract

This paper examines the role of the diaspora as a driver of technology start-ups in the Indian context. It identifies diaspora links as sources of knowledge, learning and reputation driving domestic firms on the path of accelerated internationalisation. It thus adds to the growing literature in this area, as it develops an eclectic framework using insights from diverse streams of international business, entrepreneurship and the diasporas literature. It focuses on the discovery, evaluation and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities in the context of the Indian IT sector through a case study of five Indian technology start-ups and the role of the diaspora in their emergence as global start-ups.
