Title

“Click, Share and Sell- The Role of Social Commerce in Empowering Women-led Microenterprises in Bangalore”

Abstract

Social commerce has really changed things for entrepreneurs, mixing social media with business functions and creating a bunch of new chances for women-led small businesses. This study looks at how platforms like Instagram Shops, WhatsApp Business and live selling affects business performance, customer retention and empowerment. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from 200 women entrepreneurs in Bangalore and analyzed with all the usual stats tools. The results were pretty surprising- it turned out that just using social commerce platforms doesn’t really boost business performance or feelings of empowerment. Customer engagement and trust were found to have a significant but negative link with people actually buying things or coming back, which points to some gaps in turning 'likes' into sales. Things like not having great digital skills or financial problems were not significant factors in whether or not adopting these platforms led to growth. The findings highlight that while social commerce makes it easier to start a business online, its potential to empower women entrepreneurs really depends on effective engagement strategies, training and better support from the community and government.
