The present paper demonstrates that the concept of gender equality still remains mostly in theory in the whole world, particularly in the context of economic participation and opportunity available to Indian women. It aims to depict the contribution of women-led tech startups in diverse fields like medical and health care, materials and product innovations and logistics, automobile sector, communication support system, security system, and human resource management. The contribution of Indian women in the forefront of tech startups in spite of all the barriers of cultural, social, economic, and political has been reflected here. It points out the brilliance and hard work of women entrepreneurs and suggests an urgent need for the change in the perception on the role of women of all relevant agencies in Indian society.Downloads
