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.
