Your research has examined the impact of male out-migration on women who remain in Kerala households. In your view, how has migration transformed the economic and social roles of women in Kerala over the past few decades?

   CBS LINE Volume 4(7) Women Entrepreneurs and Micro Enterprises Redefining Marketing in a Digital India Ameena A Research Scholar  Centre for Budget Studies, CUSAT The role of women in India's entrepreneurial sector has expanded considerably in recent years. Women are engaged in diverse forms of enterprise, ranging from self-help groups and home-based businesses in rural areas to technology-driven startups.

Against this background, the present study examines the marketing capabilities and market expos...
