Over the past ten years, there have been more start-ups and new businesses in India, with men founding most of them. Women are now more empowered and engaged in business. Even though many Indian women aspire to run their businesses, success can be challenging for them. In addition to more overt political commitment to women's empowerment, the administration has established several institutional initiatives to support women's aspirations for entrepreneurship. This brief article first gathered information on the situation of women entrepreneurs in the nation before examining the barriers that prevent more female founders from contributing to India's economy. Governments, organisations, investors, and the community at large are all essential parts of the complex puzzle that is creating an environment that supports women entrepreneurs. Next, we'll go over some of the reasons why women don't start their own businesses. Some of the main reasons include things like unconscious biases, insecurity about starting a business, difficulties getting funding and connections, a lack of resources for families and children, and unsafe working and public environments. Several recommendations that might help businesswomen gain more influence are made in the paper.
