Hylobiz Celebrates and Supports Women Entrepreneurs and Professionals

With digitization, awareness, and facility of social networking and with the growth of fintech these businesses are seeing a rise. Hylobiz, a fintech is supporting women professionals and women in business. A woman entrepreneur who onboards Hylobiz will get double the credits as a gesture for the onboarding.
Today, entrepreneurship can build more opportunities and can bridge the employment gap between men and women in India and across the world. Although most of the startups are run by men, an interesting fact to share here is as, in FY21, the number of MSME enterprises led by women is 1.23crore which indicates that just around 20% of MSME entrepreneurs in India are women.
