The gig economy has emerged as a transformative force in the global labor market, offering flexible and diverse opportunities for employment. In India, this shift has significant implications for women entrepreneurs, presenting both opportunities and challenges. This paper explores the landscape of women entrepreneurship in the Indian gig economy, examining how digital platforms and freelance work offer new avenues for economic participation while also identifying the barriers that women face. Through a review of existing literature and analysis of case studies, this research provides insights into how the gig economy can be leveraged to empower women entrepreneurs in India.
