Abstract This study profiles women entrepreneurs who own and manage small to medium sized enterprises in two states in southern India- Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It examined the problems these women faced during the setting up and continued operation of their businesses, and the workfamily conflicts that these women faced. It also looked at their reasons for starting a business and the selfreported reasons for their success. The initial problems faced by these women seem similar to those faced by women in western countries. However, Indian woman entrepreneurs faced lower levels of workfamily conflicts and seem to differ in their reasons for starting and succeeding in business
