How are Indias women entrepreneurs breaking through?
b"
Many successful start-ups have been founded in India over the last decade, but a vast majority of them are led by men. While many Indian women have entrepreneurial ambitions, it is often more difficult for them to succeed. In fact, a recent study by the World Economic Forum says that worldwide, women entrepreneurs face a systemic lack of access to capital, credit, land, or financial products that prevent them from starting a company. There is also an unconscious bias and a lack of family support and child-care options, especially in India\\u2019s patriarchal society.

In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss how India\\u2019s women leaders and businesswomen are breaking stereotypes and making a name for themselves.
