The central government defines women entrepreneurs based on their participation in equity and employment of a business enterprise. According to a recently conducted Global Entrepreneurialism Report by international bank BNP Paribas, women entrepreneurs are rising in the country. The survey which was conducted among 2,500 entrepreneurs across 17 markets in US, Europe, Middle East and Asia found out that 49% entrepreneurs from the country are women, which makes India the best country in the world for women entrepreneurship. Thus, to support women entrepreneurs, the central government and commercial banks provide various benefits through different schemes. Stree Shakti Package is one such scheme run by the State Bank of India (SBI), which supports women entrepreneurship by providing concessions.
