Entrepreneurship - Questionnaire for Existing Entrepreneurs

I am making a quick study on the subject Entrepreneurship Problems & Prospects and in this context I
have framed the following questionnaire. I am aware of your precious time, yet I venture to request you to
spare a few minutes & give me your responses to following questions. Your responses are very valuable to me
& will be extremely meaningful for my study.
Thanks in anticipation.

Please copy & paste this tick mark at right answer:
1. It is generally believed that Indian women give more emphasis to their motherly role and family /
home responsibilities rather than venturing for a career / growth through entrepreneurship. If they
have to plan & settle for a career, they would at best prefer a safe risk free job than setting up a
business venture of their own.
