In the current context, Women's Entrepreneurship has become the talk of the town, especially Youth. Women entrepreneurship is an economic activity of those women who think of a business enterprise, initiate it, organize and combine the factors of production, operate the enterprise undertake risks, and handle economic uncertainty involved in running a business enterprise. As per the independent study in 2022-23 by www.gemconsortium.org, globally, one in six women reported an intention to start a business shortly. The highest entrepreneurial intention rates were observed in low-income countries, where approximately 28% of women expressed intentions to start a business. While this study does describe the scope of Women Entrepreneurs, however situation may improve further. The current study is conducted with the help of both secondary data and Primary Data. The Primary data is in the form of a Survey Method. The Authors have collected stories of 5 Real life women entrepreneurs & recorded the learning.

Hence this may be a limitation of the study as the inferences are indicative in nature rather than exhaustive.
