Women's entrepreneurship has recently been a roaring success. Throughout the generations and across time, women's responsibilities have remained entrenched in eternity. It will never change, but it will go through stages. Women's roles change over time in varied ways, shapes, and sizes, as well as in new directions. Much of the world used to be built in such a way that men could only establish businesses. Then there are the women who have been obliged to work in order to support themselves and their family owing to a variety of circumstances. Any comprehension of Indian women, their identities, and especially their role in forging new roads will be incomplete without a journey through the corridors of Indian history, where women paused, lived, and internalised uncountable role models. Some have travelled overseas and pursued entrepreneurship, while others have pursued jobs, some in the entertainment industry, some in positions of leadership, and millions more have adopted traditional societal duties.

India has the highest rate of immigration to Australia. Women's experiences are shaped by multidimensional mixed sociocultural context long before they migrate and become entrepreneurs. Indian women carefully manage expected gender conventions. Migration and entrepreneurship are critical for these women, who must balance family and community norms and power structures while gaining new economic and social resources. Indian women exist in two realms of intertwined social and economic existence, dipping in and out of their Indian heritage as required. They worked in Australia prior to founding a business, which is critical to their entrepreneurial success.
