Women Entrepreneurs: Bringing up the Real Power of Womanhood & Uplifting Economy

How Women Led Startups are Growing

Strong women like Kiran Mazumder Shaw, CEO of Biocon limited, Falguni Nayar of Nykaa, Roshni Nadar Chaiman of HCL limited have clearly showed the world women can set up their business empire from the scratch. Women are innovative and analytical thinker and they can easily adopt things and handle any situation flawlessly. The initial thing to build a successful career in the field of startups for women is self-confidence and bravery to face any situation.

Today’s women are educated, skilled and talented; they know how to use technology to uplift their business to the next level. Still in many parts of India, women are overloaded with dexterous skills but they are not at all aware of the modernized world and technology. Even if they know about it, they don’t know how to use them for their benefit.

Indian Government has unveiled Startup related schemes like Startup India, under which very few benefits and offers like startup incubators are the breeding ground of young talents. These incubators are encouraging startups by women through conducting workshops and employing female mentors. Also they help in growing their business network through which they can easily get connected with potential investors, and venture capitalists, in order to get promoted and funding for their startups.

Don’t let anyone hinder your spirit, embrace your enthusiasm, follow your passion, build up your own strong empire!!

Women Investors in Indian Startup Landscape

Previously, investors used to avoid investing their fund in women led startups due to social stigma, or pre occupied patriarchal notions. Now the picture has been changed, with the launch of female focused funds as well as the growing presence of women in VC & PE firms, these traditional barriers have been removed. Trailblazing women investors like Ankita Vashistha, founder of Saha Fund, Debjani Ghosh, president of NASSCOM, Nandini Mansinghka, CEO of Mumbai Angel Network, Vani Kola, Founder of Kalaari capital are making their mark in Indian Startup ecosystem.
