This video highlights the hurdles women entrepreneurs face in a male-dominated industry, based on start-ups under the Financial Inclusion Lab accelerator program that work to support the LMI workforce. The Lab is a part of CIIE.CO’s Bharat Inclusion Initiative and receives support from some of the largest philanthropic organizations across the world. These include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, J.P. Morgan, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, MetLife Foundation, and the Omidyar Network.

India is a hotspot for start-ups. However, the country has only 297 women-led tech start-ups and just two women-led unicorns. Women entrepreneurs face more challenges in their entrepreneurial journey as compared to men. This video highlights how start-ups under the FI Lab continue to empower women and pave the way for gender inclusivity.
