A recent study by DBS Bank India highlights a significant trend: female entrepreneurs in India are increasingly leveraging digital finance tools, driving deeper adoption of these technologies in their business operations. The report underscores that these digital tools are becoming “increasingly integral to business management,” supporting a wide array of functions from payment processing and credit access to payroll management and strategic future planning.
The findings suggest that 84% of these entrepreneurs are already utilizing payment tools, reflecting a strong foundational engagement with digital financial solutions. This momentum is seen as crucial for sustained growth, with the report emphasizing the need to move beyond traditional banking services.
DBS Bank India advocates for the creation of “connected ecosystems” that can support entrepreneurs at every stage of their business journey. This approach aims to foster an environment where digital finance not only facilitates day-to-day operations but also contributes to the long-term scalability and success of businesses led by women.
