Abstract

The idea that women are not cut out for business is outdated; in modern times, an increasing number of Indian women are venturing into the world of business due to the allure of its flexibility and the opportunity to exercise their creativity in this arena. However, the road is not as smooth as it could appear. The path to entrepreneurship can be fraught with difficulties for women, much like a rose that is surrounded by thorns. The purpose of this article is to examine the factors affecting the work-life balance of female entrepreneurs and to highlight some successful journeys of Indian female entrepreneurs amid these hurdles and challenges. A representative sample of one hundred fifty female entrepreneurs in the Indian state of Rajasthan was used. For this study, a questionnaire that was more structured and convenience sampling method was used. It was determined, in the end, that aspects such as financial assistance and family support affect their ability to maintain a healthy work-life balance, and job satisfaction is the result of this. This study is limited to only one state of India, but it needs to be conducted in a larger geographical area to help out and increase the interest in entrepreneurship among females and to ensure their sustainability in this field for a longer time.
