Entrepreneurship and Gender- A Study of Women Entrepreneurs in Delhi

Abstract

Women entrepreneurs are quite different from their male counterparts. This is true not only for India but also for the rest of the world. Nineties has been the decade of economic liberalization and globalization and post-2000 this process has only increased. Women especially in India are now competing with men and are venturing into areas which are considered only a man's domain. Delhi being the capital of India it has always been in the forefront of any change, be it political, social or economic. Obviously no city in India reflects this trend better than the city of Delhi. Hence the focus of this study is primarily to study women entrepreneurs in the city of Delhi and its adjoining areas.
