My paper “Familial Legacies: A Study on Gujarati Women and Family Entrepreneurship” is a part of my PhD work, which is a descriptive study conducted on women entrepreneurs of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) sector in six districts of the state of Gujarat.

The case discusses important terminologies which a researcher may expect to encounter while carrying out data-collection-based research
