Dell(NASDAQ:DELL) has organized its Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network (DWEN) meet for the first time in the Mumbai market with presence from 14 eminent women entrepreneurs who have excelled in their respective fields and are collaborating to establish a positive Indian women entrepreneurship ecosystem in the country.
India has borne witness to a significant increase in the number of woman entrepreneurs in the recent years, but the problems being faced by them have largely remained the same. Keeping in mind the current conditions surrounding woman entrepreneurship in India, attendees at DWEN engaged in a focussed discussion on “Factors fostering ‘high potential’ female entrepreneurship” to develop a deeper understanding of the issues, challenges, etc that women entrepreneurs face and the best methods to overcome them.
Ritu Gupta, Director – Marketing, Dell India, said, “Entrepreneurship has always been core to us at Dell. Since the beginning, we have believed in listening closely to our customers and that engaging directly with our customers’ leads to a better impact. Networking is a direct way of approaching our customers and understanding an organization’s issues and dilemmas. Through DWEN, we provide a ready platform for women entrepreneurs to collaborate, share ideas and best practices among themselves. We see an immense scope for growth of the Indian women entrepreneurship ecosystem.”
During the course of the event India-specific findings from the second annual Gender-Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index (GEDI) were also discussed. The Gender-GEDI report is the only global index to measure high-potential female entrepreneurship based on individual aspirations, business environments and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
