Back in the days, Madam C.J Walker was the first independent Women Entrepreneurs to break through the norms. Since then, the times have changed and women are on a remarkable journey of entrepreneurship and leading with positive belief and confidence. Globally, all women have overcome criticism and breaking the trends to prove themselves beyond the stereotypes. This effect was also seen to impact the Indian corporate world. From being homemakers to successful entrepreneurs, women in India have come a long way.

The original “Slumdog millionaire”, Kalpana Saroj went to be the first woman entrepreneur of India. She bought the distressed assets of Kamani Tubes Company and successfully steered the company back to profits. She proved that dreams can only turn into reality when we work hard. Today inspired by her journey many women entrepreneurs in India are emerging to success. The sixth economic census released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) highlights that women constitute around 14% of the total entrepreneurship in India. India is seeing a revolution concerning women entrepreneurs.
