        abstract = {This study aims to examine the interplay of inner psychology, nearby support, and social surroundings in the formation of Entrepreneurial Identity and Entrepreneurial Intentions among MBA students in India. Based on the Entrepreneurial Identity Theory and the gig economy phenomenon, this study suggests the importance of Entrepreneurial Identity as a psychological antecedent to the actualization of individual attitudes and personality into entrepreneurial aspirations. Using a questionnaire for data collection among MBA students in India and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for data analysis, the study reveals the importance of Attitude toward Entrepreneurship, Risk Tolerance, and Access to Resources as antecedents to Entrepreneurial Identity. However, the study also shows that Self-Efficacy does not significantly contribute to Entrepreneurial Identity. In addition, Peer Influence moderates the relationship between Attitude toward Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurial Identity, but Networking does not moderate the relationship between Entrepreneurial Identity and Entrepreneurial Intentions.},
