“In India’s entrepreneurial landscape, the focus on women entrepreneurship gains prominence with the imminent interim budget. The government’s dedication to inclusive growth is evident through policies empowering women entrepreneurs. As a fintech led by a woman entrepreneur, CreditEnable actively engages with entrepreneurs seeking business loans, witnessing the unique challenges faced by women-led businesses, from the need for a co-applicant to regulatory red tape and risk categorization.
As Interim Union Budget 2024 unfolds, expectations are high for initiatives fostering women entrepreneurship, paving the way for enhanced financial inclusion and socio-economic empowerment. Existing schemes, like the ‘Mudra Scheme,’ reflect the need for tailored caveats and new initiatives to streamline processes for women entrepreneurs, evidenced by a 38% surge in loans to women. The robust entrepreneurial spirit of Indian women, combined with visionary budgetary measures, can catalyze substantial growth.
CreditEnable is committed to creating a lending ecosystem where all entrepreneurs, including women, have access to affordable loans. Our upcoming credit remediation product aims to enhance the creditworthiness of Indian entrepreneurs, facilitating the funding required for their aspirations. The stage is set for a future where women play a pivotal role in shaping India’s economic destiny, and we hope the budget creates more opportunities for women entrepreneurs to actively contribute.”
