According to a new study commissioned by Dell, the ideal country
to be in if you’re a woman starting a business in 2012 could well
be India, the location of its upcoming Dell Women’s Entrepreneur
Network (DWEN) event taking place in New Delhi, June 17-19,
2012.
At the event, Dell will be releasing the results of its Women’s
Global Entrepreneurship Study, examining indicators of business
confidence among women entrepreneurs in different countries, along
with their motivations, financing options and sources of
support.
Early results show tremendous optimism on the part of women
entrepreneurs in India. When asked about expectations for business
growth, women entrepreneurs in India anticipate an average of 90
percent growth over the next five years. When you consider
that India has a projected GDP growth rate of 8.2 percent in
2011-2012, according to the Indian Economic Outlook Report, women
entrepreneurs in India have good reason to be feeling bullish.
Previous DWEN events in Shanghai (2010) and Rio de Janeiro
(2011) brought together female global entrepreneurs to share best
practices, build business opportunities and celebrate female
influence in the global economy. Together, DWEN members and Dell
chose India for this exclusive event because of its role as one of
the largest emerging markets, as well as its influence on the world
of technology.
Host Moira Forbes, publisher of Forbes Woman, will lead the
two-day event around the theme “Innovation through Collaboration.”
The agenda is structured as an exchange of ideas between female
founders, CEOs, innovative leaders, business icons, experts and
thought leaders who run businesses in top markets. With
speakers representing Canada, the United States, Brazil, China,
Japan, Australia, India, the United Kingdom, France and Germany,
the Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network will address topics such as
doing business in India, social entrepreneurship and strategic
giving, sustainability, customer engagement, social media strategy,
going global, and more. Speakers include:

“Women are playing increasingly important roles in leadership
and we’re seeing some of the most exciting global growth coming
from female-led companies,” said Forbes. “I recently traveled to
Asia for the inaugural Forbes Forum: Asia’s Power Business Women
and saw first-hand how the region’s female business leaders and
entrepreneurs are changing the face of business and India is at the
forefront of this phenomenon.”
