Empowering women from marginalized communities plays a pivotal role in achieving inclusive economic growth and social equity. In Andhra Pradesh, marginalized women face challenges in accessing economic resources, education, and employment. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) offer transformative opportunities for these women to become self-reliant and actively participate in the economic development of the state. This paper explores the role of MSMEs in empowering women from disadvantaged groups in Andhra Pradesh. It will delve into the challenges women face in accessing these opportunities, the strategies to enhance their participation in MSMEs, and the potential socio-economic benefits of their involvement. The paper aims to outline the policies, measures, and frameworks required to foster an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports marginalized women’s engagement in MSMEs, thereby contributing to the overall goal of gender equality and socio-economic upliftment.
