About Women Entrepreneurs

Women entrepreneurs are those women who think of a business enterprise, initiate it, organise and combine factors of production, carrying most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards.

Nowadays in India women are willing to accept challenges & take positions in an economic, social, political association. Usually, they engage them in small or medium household industries, but recent trends show women have started new ventures in all the economic, social sectors equivalent to men. 

Growth of Women Entrepreneurs in India

From neighborhood aunties who run a beauty parlour to a women CEO who is running the leading MNCs, women are leading businesses around the globe. But in India for years, women had to contend with small, informal, work-from-home businesses. It is because of patriarchal culture & traditions, where women are supposed to perform household activities & take care of their family. 

The first prime minister of India Jawahar Lal Nehru once remarked "when a woman moves forward, the family moves, the village moves and the nation moves." 

Today, due to the widespread education and awareness this vision of late PM seems to come true, where women are now exhibiting interest in launching their business endeavours, successfully running them. Thus, we are witnessing considerable growth of women entrepreneurs in India.
