Gaps in Business Metrics

  • Easy entry into workforce
  • Financial autonomy and healthcare
  • Accessing business networks

New Delhi: Securing funding is a major challenge for women entrepreneurs along with balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with traditional gender roles and expectations, say women business leaders.

Creating an inclusive work environment and addressing key areas like easy entry into workforce, financial autonomy and healthcare would help women lead and make an impact, women entrepreneurs said on the occasion of Women Entrepreneur Day. According to Assiduus Global CEO & founder and NITI Aayog advisor Somdutta Singh, securing funding is a significant challenge for women entrepreneurs along with balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with traditional gender roles and expectations.

“Historically, many business networks have been male-dominated, making it harder for women to access key connections and opportunities. I am constantly working to create a diverse and inclusive work environment. I am involved in building networks that support women in entrepreneurship. I am always advocating for equal funding opportunities, pushing for a more equitable distribution of resources,” she said.

Founder of SheThePeopleTV and Gytree.com Shaili Chopra said that as an advocate of gender equality, it is crucial to establish additional ways for women to enter the workforce.
