The main object of this research is to find out how women, in a country like India are motivated or de-motivated when it comes to setting up their own enterprise, or in other words, observing the situation of ‘Women Entrepreneurship in India”.

Entrepreneurship refers to the setting up or owning a company for the purpose of generating wealth and employment. When we talk about a country where women are still, to an extent, treated inferior to men and thought of as weak members, unable to compete in the world, the majority has accepted the fact that the women of the 21st century have the aptitude for doing what every man can do, and have come a long way to prove it. Development in women entrepreneurship in India is still low compared to other countries, especially in rural areas, where orthodox traditions still run in the family.
