For a populous country like India to succeed, empowered women and the stratum of women entrepreneurs are vital. But it's no secret that there's a huge disparity in the gender of entrepreneurs. No matter which geography you consider, female-founded companies are significantly fewer. This is the case even in first-world countries. In the US, the professional advertisement landscape is shockingly asymmetric, as only 0.1 percent of creative agencies are founded by women. In India, one of the best avenues towards filling this crater is to leverage the government schemes for women entrepreneurs to the fullest. Annapurna Scheme (for women entrepreneurs in food catering), Bharatiya Mahila Bank Business Loan (banking scheme to support women entrepreneurs), Mudra Yojana Scheme (small scale business loans), Orient Mahila Vikas Yojana Scheme (for women who hold 51 percent share capital separately or collectively as a proprietary concern), Dena Shakti Scheme (for women entrepreneurs in agriculture, retail, & manufacturing), PM Rozgar Yojana, Udyogini Scheme, Cent Kalyani Scheme, and Mahila Udyam Nidhi Scheme are some of the support systems. With some courage and confidence in your veins, you could create your entrepreneurial anecdote. This issue, which is about women leaders in the Arts, Crafts & Design industry, could give you the inspiration you are looking for.Do let us know your thoughts.Sujith VasudevanManaging Editor editor@ceoinsightsindia.comThe New Avenues for Women Leaders
