Abstract

Social entrepreneurs are essential as a catalyst for social change and innovation. The role of women as social entrepreneurs is being investigated for addressing these social difficulties because women's presence in social enterprises significantly empower women and are more concerned with societal development, trimming down problems like unemployment, poverty, and restricted access to social enterprises. It would, in effect, encourage women to engage in any business endeavour for which they have the time and means. For female social entrepreneurs to increase their dignity and sense of self-worth, they need social support to get over fear and feeling of inadequacy. In India, female social entrepreneurs are leveraging their skills, resources and connections to build self-assured, profitable businesses that will enable them to live honourably and happily ever after.
