The objective of the present study is to identify the probing anterior of entrepreneurial intentions of youngsters in India because recently Government of India has started many initiatives likes Startup India, Make in India, etc. that are focusing towards providing financial and other relevant support to startups and nurturing innovation for sustainable growth and development. It will also help in creating employment opportunities at large scale. In order to get benefits of these initiatives, we have to know about the probing anterior of entrepreneurial intentions of young generation of the country as presently a large part of our entire population consists of youngsters. The median age of India's population is 28.4 years (India Population, 2021 -Worldometer). The stage of entrepreneurial intention is most significant in the entire entrepreneurial process as according to the theory of planned behavior, as stated by (Ajzen, 1991), intention is the most important and significant predictor of the behavior of humans. Structural equation modelling techniques are used for the empirical analysis. The results of analysis are found to be generally satisfactory; this indicates that the model is adequate for the study of entrepreneurship. It is also noticed that there are certain demographic variables which contribute in a different way to the formation of entrepreneurial intention.
