Abstract

Women entrepreneurship is a key driver of economic inclusion and growth. There are several government programmes available to enable entrepreneurship in India, some are dedicated programmes for women-led enterprises. However, several challenges remain with respect to access to finances, markets, technology and skills. In this policy brief, we recognise that there is significant scope to leverage the digital advancements made by India to address the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in accessing finance, skills, networks and markets, thereby unshackling the potential of women entrepreneurship. While male entrepreneurs too, stand to gain from these advances, for women entrepreneurs they can prove to be particularly beneficial as they help alleviate several barriers which emanate from restrictive norms that are deep-rooted in society.
