A survey by Primus Partners highlights the transformative potential of integrating entrepreneurship into school and college curricula. Based on insights from over 1,500 stakeholders including students, teachers, principals, and micro-entrepreneurs, the report estimates that such integration could spark 2,800 student led startups and create 2.8 lakh jobs.

Key findings show that 78% of students view entrepreneurship as a viable career, yet many lack formal exposure. The report "Powering the $5 Trillion Dream: The FINESSE Framework Could Generate 2.8 Lakh New Jobs, Driving Grassroots Entrepreneurship for an Aatma Nirbhar Bharat" introduces the FINESSE Framework, a phased model emphasizing experiential learning, mentorship, financial literacy, and incubation support.

Citing success stories like Rajasthan’s iStart Programme, the report urges nationwide curriculum integration, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, to nurture entrepreneurial ecosystems. With millions entering the workforce annually, the study argues that entrepreneurship education is essential to bridge the employment gap and drive sustainable economic growth.
