Abstract: Entrepreneurship is a process of initiating a small business termed as a start-up, undergoing different stages of business lifecycle. Hence, success and failure depend upon how start-ups affect the ecosystem, adding value towards economic growth. Start-ups are redefining ecosystems with 'technopreneurship innovation (TIN)', an innovative use of technologies in designing systems. Thus, it is necessary to inspect lean start-ups that are using TIN aided with artificial intelligence (AI). The ontology has led us to conduct a qualitative profiling of shortlisted 75 AI-based start-ups identified across pan India, followed by epistemological assumptions, as to why the lean start-ups need to focus on the TIN. The authors delved into how these technologies can act as a key enabler for sustainable growth (SD) of start-ups. The results are in the form of AI-start-ups working in the TIN with new-age technologies like data science (DS), machine learning algorithm (MLA) and graphical processing units (GPUs).

Keywords: artificial intelligence; entrepreneurship; technopreneurship innovation; TIN; technologies; start-up; machine learning algorithm; MLA; graphical processing units; GPUs.
