Some have travelled overseas and pursued entrepreneurship, while others have pursued jobs, some in the entertainment industry, some in positions of leadership, and millions more have adopted traditional societal duties.India has one of the highest rates of immigration to Australia. Women's experiences are shaped by multidimensional mixed sociocultural context long before they migrate and become entrepreneurs. Indian women carefully manage expected gender conventions.
