This International Day of the Girl Child, let’s join hands to celebrate the women around us like we should every day.
Women entrepreneurs in India are fighting a battle every day. They combat sexism, financial bias and low moral support from family and peers.
But that does not stop them. If anything, women entrepreneurs in India are on the rise, with over 85% increase in women taking up leadership roles in companies and over 20% increase in women setting up their own businesses.
Here are 3 women we want to give a huge shout-out to for being awesome businesswomen, mothers, daughters, activists, caregivers, and most importantly for being women of grit and purpose.
