Whether you’ve got a spark of an idea or a company that’s ready to scale, check out all that India has to offer female founders.
In the global venture landscape, strides are being made toward gender equality, yet there’s still significant ground to cover. While women-led startups receive funding, the numbers often fall short of equitable representation.
In India, women are achieving remarkable progress in the domains of machine learning and robotics, shattering barriers and playing a crucial role in technological advancements that have traditionally been male-dominated. DWEN, in partnership with Global Invest Her, has created a funding blueprint dedicated for women entrepreneurs in Bangalore, India. Read now to discover valuable insights and resources to help you access the funding you need.

About Dell WE Cities Index
At Dell Technologies’ Women’s Entrepreneur Network (DWEN), we partner with experts, entrepreneurs, and influencers – including policymakers and civic officials – to stand in the doorways of global economies and hold open the doors for women founders to access the resources they need: Community, technology, Insights, and capital.
WE Cities is our guide.
The Dell Technologies and DWEN WE Cities Index measures and ranks cities around the world based on their ability to attract and support high potential women entrepreneurs. This research showcases how technology connects all other aspects of the business environment (markets, capital, talent and culture), provides recommendations for business owners and officials alike to improve systems from the inside out, and profiles global centers of commerce by their overall suitability for women who scale.
Since our first WE Cities Index in 2016, we have grown our canon of research to include indices in 2017 and 2019, and expanded our reporting to include individual city blueprints. In 2018, we commissioned our first Deep Dive Reports on capital and technology. And in 2019, in addition to a new Index, we produced our first official policy recommendations. This year’s WE Cities installment will add another index, five new cities, nine new individual city blueprints and a new, post-pandemic Technology Deep Dive Report.
WE Cities offers powerful tools for small business owners to assess, contextualize, and leverage the global economic factors directly impacting bottom lines, or the ability to scale a business through new market entry or expansion.
