Did you know that of the nearly 75 Mn enterprises in India, ONLY 4% enterprises are women-owned and which hire workers? At its full potential, by 2030, there could be 12.6 Mn women-owned enterprises hiring workers in India envisaged to create an additional employment for 150-170 Mn people by then. This is equivalent to more than 25% of the jobs required to absorb the entire working-age population by 2030! Such is the capability & power in the hands of women entrepreneurs in India!
Yet, the bitter truth is: India ranks 140 (of 156 countries) in the World Economic Forumβs Global Gender Gap Index 2021. India is DOWN 28 places since 2020, 31 places since 2018 & 42 places since 2006!
We NEED a revolution of sorts for women entrepreneurs to claim their rightful place in the Indian and global economy.
To enable such a revolution, we at 46 XX are building India's largest comprehensive digital ecosystem for women entrepreneurs to DEMOCRATIZE ACCESS to INFORMATION, INSPIRATION & NETWORKS!
