Decoding government support to women entrepreneurs in India

Summary

India faces a significant gender gap in entrepreneurship, with women owning only 20% of all enterprises and experiencing a decline in female labor force participation, along with challenges in accessing credit and information. The NITI Aayog's Women Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP) addresses this by serving as a unified hub for information and services, connecting women entrepreneurs with relevant government schemes and support. The initiative is currently in progress, having already registered over 26,500 women and continually evolving its platform with features like smart matchmaking to further enhance accessibility and effectiveness.
