Author : Dharshini P and Dr. MD Chinnu
Abstract :
Women entrepreneurship plays a vital role in economic development and innovation. Entrepreneurs are considered the fourth factor of production and act as drivers of growth. Despite India’s traditionally male-dominated social structure, women entrepreneurship is steadily increasing. Globalisation has created new opportunities for Indian women to participate in business activities. However, women entrepreneurs face multiple challenges from the initial stage of business formation. These challenges include social barriers, gender bias, limited access to finance, and lack of knowledge. The government has introduced various programmes and policies to support women entrepreneurs. This study highlights the key issues and challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in India. It also suggests measures to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem and enhance women’s participation.
