Women Entrepreneurs Are Very Rare: Padmaja Ruparel, Co-founder, IAN Group
"India's entrepreneurship has grown but there is a very abysmal growth of women entrepreneurs. And even more abysmal is the fact that funding is rare. In 2022, 14.7% of the funding went to women. In 2023, it dropped to 9.7%," said Padmaja Ruparel, Co-founder, IAN Group at the NDTV World Summit.
