Women Entrepreneurship
Indian business environment is taking rapid strides. Now, women from life science
should consider frying bigger fish. In a survey, surprisingly a very less percentage of
Indian women have been found to have taken a career as an entrepreneur. It is less than
around 1% specifically in the field of medical and life science. To cut an interesting
figure, women have a connate entrepreneurship skill, occupying good space in the HR
world yet they are failing to make that percentage when it comes to entrepreneurship.
In defiance of all odds of Indian society, there are still few names that make a
prodigious feat in the world of Biotechnology /Medical/FMCG entrepreneurship.
