Abstract

Women's Entrepreneurship has become a key factor in the growth of South Asian Countries, especially the Indian economy, through engaging in ownership of business firms. This paper discusses the association between social entrepreneurship and women-empowered development projects to solve social challenges. The study examines how such enterprises promote social justice, equity, and sustainable development, as well as encourage entrepreneurship. The issues enlightened in the study showcase the prospects of female entrepreneurs in the field via strict and systematic examination of the case studies and the relevant documents. It is through this backdrop that the outcomes underscore the need for women as agents of change and are important in the agenda for change toward the transformation of the existing economic order. Through a grounded analysis of the linkages between women in development and new social business environments, this research explores how the empowering of dynamic groups could assist nations in managing volatile environments in reaching their goals. The report outlines recommendations for increasing and supporting women's social entrepreneurial initiatives, thereby increasing the positive effects of such enterprises on women’s communities in South Asia. The study goes further and explores how these businesses try to encourage social and economic integration by examples. It also shows the role of gender in stimulating and constraining entrepreneurial opportunities in that area using evoked examples and research findings. The present work raises important issues related to gender and development. It contributes relevant insights on how the increased social support from society for women entrepreneurs might improve some aspects of their operation and performance. These results stress women’s role in changing social settings and imply that organizations for the integrated development of society can turn into transformative.
