Women Entrepreneurs and Sustainable Development Goals a Synergistic Relationship in India

This study examines the relationship between women entrepreneurs and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in India, focusing on the contributions, challenges and role of government policies. A quantitative research approach was used to collect data from 200 female entrepreneurs using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, t tests, ANOVA, and correlation analyses were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that female entrepreneurs contribute significantly to the SDGs related to gender equality, decent work, and economic growth. However, barriers such as financial constraints and societal stereotypes hinder their full potential. Government policies and institutional support play a crucial role in enabling women entrepreneurs to align themselves with the SDGs. The study is limited to a sample size of 200 respondents, which may not fully represent all women entrepreneurs in India. Future research can explore sector-specific contributions and conduct longitudinal studies to assess policy effectiveness over time. This study bridges this gap by analyzing empirical data on how women entrepreneurs in India contribute to the SDGs and the obstacles they encounter, providing insight into the economic and social impact of women entrepreneurs.
