GoDaddy's 2025 Global Entrepreneurship Survey indicates Indian women are adopting AI with confidence and bridging the gender gap Indian women entrepreneurs are leading households financially and spearheading artificial intelligence (AI) adoption to power their small businesses. GoDaddy's 2025 Global Entrepreneurship Survey reveals these women are redefining success with confidence and resilience, using technology to streamline operations and inspire a new era of business opportunity and innovation in a post-COVID world. In India, over a quarter (27%) of small businesses surveyed are women-owned, with 74% of these reporting as having launched their business in the last five years.

For example, Indian women are reporting saving 12 hours per week by using AI tools -such as GoDaddy Airo®, an AI-powered experience which simplifies website creation, logo design and digital marketing strategies for entrepreneurs. This time saved equates to over one working day per week, time which they spend on coming up with creative ideas (63%), learning new skills or improving current ones (55%) and planning the future of the business (46%). Women entrepreneurs are resilient in the face of economic uncertainty Despite mixed emotions on the current Indian economy, with only 38% feeling very optimistic, women entrepreneurs remain resilient. 81% believe their business will grow in the next 3-5 years, which is higher than men (77%).
