Women entrepreneurs have an edge over male entrepreneurs." Kant insisted that this is going to radically change the story of the country's future and its approach to creating economic value. "They will outperform for several valid reasons. Women leaders in India have a better feel of the household spending patterns. They understand consumer perspective better.
