Abstract: India is a developing country and an emerging economy of South Asia. Small and medium enterprise contributes to the sizeable proportion of exports and manufacturing output of the country and millions of people are provided employment. Due to the forces of globalisation sooner or later these SMEs are thinking about internationalisation. This study uses regression analysis to study the impact of global mindset and network relationships on the internationalisation of SMEs from India. Primary data was collected from SMEs which are involved in international business from India. Global mindset and network relationships were taken as independent variables while Internationalisation as a dependent variable. The results showed that both global mindset and network relationships have a significant and positive impact on Internationalisation. Therefore, both works as determinants of internationalisation, network relationships is a stronger determinant than global mindset. The implications of these findings are also discussed.
