Abstract

This study aims to find out how current assets are being managed by both nascent and established entrepreneurs in India. Moreover, it attempts to investigate the effects of current assets management on the profitability of the firms. The examination of this paper depends on a panel data method of 1,371 Indian entrepreneurs, for the period from 2016 to 2017. Least square regression models are used for estimating the results. The study found that net trade cycle positively and significantly affects established entrepreneurs' liquidity. Furthermore, current assets to total assets ratio significantly impact entrepreneurs' profitability and nascent entrepreneurs' profitability. This study is motivated to bridge an existing gab in the literature by finding out how current assets are being managed by both nascent and established entrepreneurs in India, which has not been considered yet as per the knowledge of authors, and therefore makes this study of novel contribution to the literature.
