Abstract: Nowadays, business activities are highly influenced by technology. Almost every small or large business depends on digital tools in some way. Because of this reason, digital literacy has become important for entrepreneurs. In the case of women entrepreneurs in India, digital literacy is not only related to technical knowledge. It is also connected with self-confidence, independence, and the ability to manage business work without depending on others. This paper tries to study the relationship between digital literacy and the growth of women-owned businesses. It explains how the use of basic digital skills helps women entrepreneurs in reaching customers, managing routine business activities, using banking and financial services, and taking suitable business decisions. The study is based on secondary sources such as research articles, government reports, and publications of different institutions. The discussion shows that women entrepreneurs who have digital knowledge are in a better position to handle problems like limited mobility, lack of business contacts, and difficulty in accessing finance. However, many women still face issues such as poor digital access, lack of training facilities, hesitation in using technology, and social restrictions. Therefore, the paper suggests that improving digital literacy among women entrepreneurs can help in business growth and can also support inclusive economic development.

Keywords: digital literacy, women entrepreneurs, business growth, digital inclusion, economic empowerment.
