The aspirational Startup India movement seeks to fix gaps in the Indian economy to facilitate the expansion and advancement of digitally oriented enterprises. In this study, the author has used secondary data to analyse how women entrepreneurs used the benefits of startups, how much their success as women entrepreneurs contributed to India's economic growth, and how they served as the ideal role model for the nation, inspiring young women to start their own businesses. On January 15, 2016, the Indian Prime Minister unveiled Startup India, a bold programme designed to eliminate economic disparities that impede the establishment and growth of enterprises and promote digital entrepreneurship locally. The objective of this study is to investigate how women entrepreneurs have implemented the Startup India plan and the extent to which they have benefited from the scheme while also contributing to India's economic progress. "An enterprise owned and controlled by a woman with a minimum financial stake of 51% of the capital and having at least 51% of the employment created in the enterprise to women," is how the Government of India (GOI 2006) defined women entrepreneurs. Up from 10% in 2017–18, women are predicted to have started 20% of all Indian companies in 2022–2023. Funding for businesses run by women has also increased, with projections indicating that it will reach $4 billion in 2022–2023. Women entrepreneurs used fresh ideas, resources, talent, and fundamental indigenous knowledge to develop and manage businesses. AI is a powerful tool that is transforming emerging Indian start-ups.
