• If you believe, you can!
•  
• Nothing will work unless you do-Maya Angelou
• The past few years have witnessed a change in the
  business scenario. Making a mark in the
  male-centric and aggressive field of business is
  a number of women entrepreneurs.
• Willing to take risks along with an unflinching
  determination to succeed, these women have not
  given up, making them the successful women of the
  International Womens Day.
• Entrepreneurship in India is usually perceived as
  a masculine activity which makes it difficult for
  women to break into it. But according to the 2016
  BNP Paribas Global Entrepreneur Report, in about
  18 countries, women entrepreneurs expected the
  gross profit of their company to either grow or
  remain stable in 2017.
• This determination and confidence is a slap on
  the face of the patriarchal society which tries
  to control a womans agency in all aspects of her
  life.

• The digital revolution has played a major role in
  promoting and enabling women to pursue their
  entrepreneurial aspirations. With an ease in the
  herculean task of product marketing, women
  entrepreneurs are here to stay.

  at home due to the digital outreach. From the
  financial sector to cosmetics industry to
  Bollywood Indian entrepreneurs have made their

• Feel fascinated every time you see the colorful
  décor and objects from Chumbak? Yeah we all do.
  But ever wondered how the company came into being
  in the first place?
• The credit for this vibrant company goes to
  Shubhra Chadda who co-founded the business in
  2010 with her husband.
• From selling their house for funding to receiving
  funding in millions, her company has come a long
  way to become a favorite amongst the stylish
  Indians.
• The guilty pleasure of almost every Indian is
  engaging in Bollywood gossip. While some of us
  may shy away from talk shows for their high
  levels of pretentiousness, our Bollywood hunger
  gets satiated with the help of Miss Malini.
• Believe it or not the blog started out as an
  outlet for her passion for writing. And Malini
  who can surely be termed as a blogpreneur now
  shares the red carpet with the well-known faces
  of the film industry in India.

Greater economic growth can be cultivated by
giving a healthy push to women entrepreneurs. A
healthy and innovative business community with
women entrepreneurs makes for a vibrant economic
system. When it comes to women
entrepreneurship, it cant be a mere façade of
bigger startup industry. More than slogans on
women empowerment, there is a need to cultivate a
sustainable culture for new and innovative
business ideas for women. Women entrepreneurs
in India are not just founding businesses that
raise millions of funding or make a mark in some
swanky financial magazine. They are bringing
innovation in services as small as like a beauty
salon, home based food service, a restaurant
which makes for an entrepreneur. This
International Womens Day, Filingenie salutes all
those women who have found their calling and are
willing to take risks to make their dream
business come true. For any sort of help
