“As a woman entrepreneur deeply embedded in the essence of ‘Make in India’ dealing in retail and e-commerce, our pre-budget expectations for 2024 echo the heartbeat of empowerment, emphasizing employability, affordability, and strategic tax rebates. The upcoming budget holds the key to unlocking transformative opportunities for budding businesses and e-commerce, propelling us to be catalysts for change.
In the spirit of ‘Make in India,’ I anticipate policies that not only foster business growth but also prioritize employability. A budget that champions skill development initiatives and incentivizes job creation will not only fortify upcoming businesses but also contribute significantly to national progress.
Affordability is the linchpin of any entrepreneurial journey. We look forward to measures that not only ease the cost of doing business but also make sourcing quality raw material, products and services accessible to a broader audience within the country. This, coupled with strategic tax rebates, will not only bolster financial viability but also inspire confidence in women entrepreneurs like me to scale greater heights.
The forthcoming budget is an opportunity for the government to reaffirm its commitment to women entrepreneurs, and supporting our role in shaping the ‘Make in India’ narrative. I am optimistic that the fiscal roadmap for 2024-25 will be a testament to the government’s dedication to fostering an environment where women-led businesses thrive, creating a legacy of empowerment, affordability, and economic vibrancy.”
