Abstract: This study aims to find the relationship between technopreneurial competence and education to business growth in Information Communication and Technology (ICT) sector. It is found that ICT companies are fast to develop, rapid to grow and at the same time have high risk of failure. Therefore, present study deals with the crucial topic of growth determinants and tries to link it with entrepreneur-specific factors. With the help of MANOVA and subsequent analysis, paper finds that business growth in ICT sector is linked with both technopreneurial competence as well as educational background. The major implication is that while dealing with technopreneurship, concerned regulatory and educational bodies should focus on developing more education and imparting individual-specific training that enhance their entrepreneurial competence so as to nurture more growth-oriented ICT businesses.
