Abstract : In India, women-owned businesses are becoming more significant as a result of economic liberalisation and globalisation. Just one-third of businesses in the economy are run by women.They're doing a great job. In order to offer skill training, vocational education, and entrepreneurial development to the developing labour force, the Government of India has also developed National Skill Development Policy and National Skill Development Mission.Due to the demographic changes brought about by women entrepreneurs in company and the nation's economic development, the business environment today is also more difficult. Women-owned businesses are becoming more involved in politics and the economy.Women now work in a variety of occupations, including those in trade, industry, and engineering. Women are also eager to start their own businesses and advance their country. In addition, the role is acknowledged, and initiatives are being made to support female entrepreneurship.In order to adapt to changing trends, navigate the challenges of global marketplaces, and pursue excellence in the entrepreneurial sphere, women entrepreneurs must be appropriately moulded with entrepreneurial traits and talents. In India, women's entrepreneurship is a new idea that is vital to the nation's economic development. Men and women currently have a smaller gender disparity.Since customs are deeply ingrained in Indian society and the sociological structure has historically been dominated by men, educated Indian women still have a long way to go before they can enjoy equal rights and status. Women are treated as the weaker sex throughout their lives and forced to rely on men both inside and outside of their families. They were only allowed to serve as the executors of the decisions made by other male family members in the traditional Indian family structure.Because educated women do not want to confine their lives to the four walls of the home, this essay focuses on the role of women entrepreneurs in the Indian economy. They expect their partners to treat them equally.
