ABSTRACT: Indian entrepreneurship has seen rapid changes over the past few decades. With the improvement of the Indian education system, universities have increased graduation rates, leading to a better educated workforce. With these changes come an influx of well-educated women who make space for themselves within business and entrepreneurship, taking advantage of India’s vast resources, and solidifying their status as brilliant. This influx, however, comes with a variety of challenges that pose as barriers to entry for women. Despite steps taken by individual corporations and the government, women still face issues like gender discrimination and workplace harassment that prevent them from wholeheartedly joining the workforce. Future directions towards improving these conditions for women may include providing more flexibility within a job or a role to make it seem more appealing to female candidates, as well as improving the state of STEM education and financial literacy in schools. This will allow women to develop higher levels of confidence when attempting to beak into a male-dominated sphere.
