Abstract
Entrepreneurs are a driving force and provide a foundation for the economic development of every national economy. Women entrepreneurs have mainly played a pivotal role in the economic progress of the country for the past two decades. In the context of globalization, women entrepreneurs across the county have identified opportunities for further growth and made a considerable impact in all segments such as banks, information technology, politics industry, etc. by positioning themselves in a male-dominated workplace. Female entrepreneurship can reduce poverty, empower women to be financially independent, and generate significant contributions to the economic well-being of the society. The role of women in business is gradually increasing, and empowering women through entrepreneurship has become an integral part of our development efforts in India. Female entrepreneurs also enhance the standard of living of their family, which in turn contribute to economic development. Female entrepreneurship is seen as an essential but unexploited source of economic growth. It is, therefore, essential to understand the methods to enhance their role not only in MSMEs but in the economy to ensure that India's economic progress is complete. The present paper focuses on the problems and challenges faced by micro and small enterprise entrepreneurs in developing their business. A Sample of 100 micro and small enterprise women entrepreneurs were selected for the study using the convenience sampling method.
