SEWA Bharat partnered with MSC to research women entrepreneurs’ credit journeys and experiences. The report “Women and Credit: Access to Credit for Micro and Small Female Entrepreneurs in India” delves into micro and small women entrepreneurs’ credit journey and explores demand and supply-side factors. The study shares insights on credit requirements, experiences, challenges, and key credit success determinants for individual and collective women-led enterprises. It also shares the supply-side experiences of bankers and other organizations and some good practices supply-side stakeholders implement to mitigate and distribute credit risk.

This report traces the impact of increased smartphone access for women microentrepreneurs across multiple sites in India.

This study is an attempt to understand how women in the informal sector are located with respect to accessing financial services, insurance and digital tools.
