| Abstract: | The star firms phenomenon, focusing on the changing structure of investment dynamism in Indian manufacturing industries, is explored. Analysing firm-level information from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy Prowess database for 2000 to 2023, this study investigates the emergence of star (superstar) firms and presents a comparative analysis highlighting intangible expenditure and intangible assets. We find that star firms are intangible-intensive relative to non-star peers and such investment in intangibles increases the likelihood of transforming a firm into a star. So, a regulatory framework is suggested that encourages investment in intangibles to leverage scale advantage and enhance performance. © 2026, Economic and Political Weekly. All rights reserved. |
