Opis

Entrepreneurship for women is not the first chosen option in India. Despite all upcoming voices on empowerment of women and its role in nation development, women chose entrepreneurship majorly as a tool to keep themselves busy and maintain some economic power than to build it as a career option. A lot many chose to be entrepreneurs to create a work life balance while managing the career and the biological clock which run in reverse directions for women. This is one major impediment that women businesses largely remain small and micro enterprises, but still are important sources for them to attain economic independence and also as a tool of employment generation for others. A new ministry of skill development & entrepreneurship has been created to attain the Make in India Dream with special incentives for women entrepreneurs but women remain ignorant to such policy interventions and mostly are pushed into entrepreneurial interventions to create a growth route when glass ceilings prohibit them from attaining leadership positions. This book based on live field research brings interesting insights into domains of women entrepreneurship and acts a useful tool for policy makers.
