Abstract:
Women globally have come a long way to accomplish and establish an equal position in the patriarchal society, still there remains a wide gap, and liberating women professionally is important in order to overcome it. Startups are an entrepreneurial venture which have led markets globally to a whole new height of success. Emergence of women entrepreneurship dynamically uplifts women’ status and is directly interlinked with the country's societal and economic benefits. Despite India being the third largest start-up ecosystem in the world, women only comprise a sliver of this growing community. This study provides an overview about startups, their market in India and the reasons for gender division in the Indian workforce and particularly in startup ventures as well. It also analysis its impact, compares them with that of other countries and provides a subjective opinion on this ongoing concern.
