Abstract
Introduction Indian women have freed themselves from the control of a male-dominated society where they do daily household chores like cooking, washing, carrying, and raising their children within the four walls of their homes. Women are following in their footsteps in the corporate world, not only as job seekers but also as job providers. Eventually, women turned to agricultural activities and became entrepreneurs. Indian women have taken a step forward in becoming entrepreneurs as only years ago they had a business career that gave them financial empowerment and development to express their abilities. This change allowed her to escape everyday life and enter a world where she could change the corporate world by giving herself a nickname. Entrepreneurship is not a male privilege. It is proven that women's entrepreneurship has gained momentum in the last three decades with the increase in the number of women-owned businesses and their significant participation in the country's economic growth. Foreign direct investment policies, technological advances, and industrial exports in the Asia-Pacific region have opened up a wide range of economic and social opportunities for women entrepreneurs. Women start a business under the influence of economic factors that push them to act alone and help them do something independently. Women prefer to work at their own workplace; the difficulties in finding suitable employment and the desire for social recognition motivate them to become self-employed. Many women studying engineering, medicine, law, etc. Hospitals, training centers, etc. are also being created. Methodology The present study is based exclusively on secondary data.
