Women entrepreneurship refers to the act of starting, managing, organizing, and running a business enterprise. Historically, women entrepreneurship was not given much importance in society, but over time, many women have emerged and participated in entrepreneurship. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have been instrumental in promoting industrial development, contributing nearly 6% to India's GDP, 33% to manufacturing, and 45% to exports. Increasing women's participation in MSMEs is considered a development goal, aiming to reduce poverty, improve family health, and empower women's economic status. MSMEs provide employment and are labor-intensive, yet they are successful in generating entrepreneurship. This sector requires minimal capital and local resources, allowing women from all backgrounds to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. This paper aims to study the percentage distribution of MSMEs run by women entrepreneurs and analyzes the motivating and challenging factors for these entrepreneurs.
