ABSTRACT:
An Indian woman business owner makes a substantial contribution to the nation's economic growth. Women play a significant role in society and contribute to the general growth of the economy. Regretfully, despite the modernity of society, women continue to face several obstacles and are prohibited from conducting business in many regions of the nation. The current research helps to understand the problems and constraints faced by women entrepreneurs. Additionally, this study contributes to the long-term mitigation and surmounting of obstacles facing female entrepreneurs. This study aims to use microfinance to create sustainable women's businesses. A system dynamic method is also used to investigate the various positive and negative interactions between the influencing variables that determine the achievement of women entrepreneurs. To reduce the economy's social, economic, market, and financial vulnerabilities and support women entrepreneurs' long-term capacity building through microfinance.
