Women Entrepreneurs and the Digital Economy: A Path to Economic Independence

Commerce

The digital economy has emerged as a powerful enabler for women’s entrepreneurship, providing opportunities to overcome traditional socio-economic barriers and access wider markets. Digital tools, platforms, and innovations have enabled women to create, manage, and expand businesses with fewer geographical and capital constraints. This paper explores the role of the digital economy in fostering women’s economic independence, identifies challenges in digital adoption, and examines policy interventions that can bridge the gender digital divide. The study combines insights from existing literature with global and Indian case examples to highlight how digital entrepreneurship is shaping a new era of gender-inclusive economic growth.
