Thank you Nishad

The following are the challenges faced by women:

1. Financial problem:
Over 70% of total finance requirement of women entrepreneurs in India is not satisfied. Women
entrepreneurs in India are more likely than men to have their applications for loan rejected or
delayed.

2. Fierce competition:
Women are still struggling to find their footing in a man’s world and entrepreneurship is no
different. There is a lot of competition between existing and upcoming businesses.

3. Striking a balance between family and business:

Women especially married women with children bear plenty of responsibilities.

So for that time management is the key. Setting time for meeting clients, emails and admin work
should be prioritized while keeping in mind familiar duties and the hours to be devoted to family
and children.

4. Male-dominated industry:
Yes, women entrepreneurs are making waves in the market with their dedication and strength,
women continue to be seen as inferior to men despite having the right attitude and aptitude for
the job.

Male domination is still prevalent in India, and not restricted to simply rural areas but urban
setups as well.

5. Limited mobility:
A single woman cannot travel anytime and anywhere to procure raw material, be part of crucial
meetings or take a flight to another country or city without seeking approval from parents or
spouse.
Mobility and workforce participation are directly proportional to each other. Making transport
smoother and safer during peak hours is a way to enhance accessibility.

6. Low risk-bearing ability:

Women tend to be low-risk takers, and rightly so since they have to look and care for so many
things. Many a woman lead sheltered lives and are not financially independent as well.
 So, the solution for this tendency is to simply realize that risk-bearing is just a fundamental
requisite of being an entrepreneur.

7. Lack of support network:

A powerful network and an efficient team are necessary for entrepreneurial success. Nearly 48%
of female founders have reported not having mentors to guide them through their journey.

Networking is very important for expansion of business. Once you find your network and
people who you would like to add to your network, don’t lose and disappoint them.

After facing this challenges women entrepreneur can achieve their goals.
