Abstract:Home-based women entrepreneurs, who are involved in baking, tailoring, handicrafts, tiffin services and other similar activities, play an important role in the economy but use informal methods such as word-of-mouth publicity or social media for promotion. This limited approach affects visibility, customer management and tracking of payments. To fill this gap, the proposed project aims to develop a localized, user-friendly e-commerce platform that will help women entrepreneurs connect with customers in their vicinity and thus contribute to digital inclusion and sustainable livelihood opportunities. The objective of this project is to help women entrepreneurs make digital participation easier, manage orders and payments efficiently and increase trust through verified listings and reviews. The platform will help women entrepreneurs gain consistent income, expand visibility and strengthen community-based economic growth. Ultimately, there will be increased income-generating opportunities for women entrepreneurs and the development of community-based digital commerce.
