According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention presents a comprehensive Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) framework to validate and quantify the drivers of Women Entrepreneurial Success (WES). The model investigates the combined influence of four key antecedent factors: Financial Literacy (FL), Digital Financial Inclusion (DFI), social media (SM) utilization, and Skill Development (SD). The core finding establishes that these four drivers significantly impact WES, but their effect is primarily and robustly channeled through the crucial Mediating Role of Economic Empowerment (EE). The framework demonstrates that simultaneous improvements in FL, DFI, SM, and SD generate greater financial independence and decision-making power for women entrepreneurs (EE), which is the essential mechanism driving enhanced business performance, stability, and growth (WES). The invention provides a statistically validated, integrated strategy for policymakers, development organizations, and financial institutions to design holistic intervention programs, ensuring resources are optimally allocated to achieve sustainable economic parity and empowerment for women globally."
