Abstract

Women entrepreneurship in India lies at the heart of gender equity and inclusive growth. Despite their potential, women face systemic challenges—patriarchal norms, limited access to finance, lack of mentorship, and socio-cultural expectations. Many operate informal businesses with little institutional support. Yet, initiatives like Start-Up India, MUDRA, and digital platforms are helping bridge gaps. Empowering women through entrepreneurship enhances household income, autonomy, and societal development. A multi-pronged strategy—financial literacy, skill development, mentorship, and gender-sensitive policies—is key. With supportive ecosystems and policy commitment, women entrepreneurs can drive sustainable, inclusive growth across India.
