Himanish, although HRM practices and processes are increasingly being scruitinised in SMEs in both developed and developing economies (see for example, Saini & Budhwar, 2008; Arafat & Ahmed, 2013; Georgiadis & Pitelis, 2012) investigating such a topic within the cottage industry is few and far in-between, if not quite limited. You may wish to look into what has been done as per the previous references and see the extent to which some of the aspects may apply in your case. Interesting and good luck.
