Abstract: "Yatra naryastu pujyante ramante tatra devatah. Yatraitastu na pujyante sarvastatraphalah kriyah" ? Manusmriti: This verse from Manusmriti means; where woman is worshiped, respected; the divinity and prosperity would blossom; but if woman is disrespected no actions would bear fruits. This paper therefore; by taking inspiration from this verse of Manusriti takes multidisciplinary outlook on; how legal, business and technological tools can empower women to further empower nation. Nations cannot achieve sustainable development without women's empowerment. Women's empowerment through entrepreneurship and leadership is vital for inclusive growth and sustainable development. The theme "Empowering Women, Empowering Nations" reflects the idea that women's participation in business, governance, and innovation strengthens not only individual livelihoods but also national progress. For legal aspects; Constitutional Law, Company Law, Labour Laws, POSH Act, etc. are analysed to appreciate its implications, limitations and lacunae. For broadening the understanding about business dimension related to these, this study interrogates on representation of women in field, social barriers, stereotype and financial hindrances they face, along with effective application of Government's initiatives like MSME policies for Women, Stand Up India, etc. In Technology Era, Digital Platforms, E-Commerce and other tools can be employed effectively in enabling women to overcome long lasting traditional barriers and letting them have access to global platform as well. Even when women are now equipped with these tools, there are certain major issues like digital divide, limited digital literacy, digital safety, etc. which are yet to be worked upon. Therefore, this paper implies that women's empowerment cannot be attained seldom. It has to be done along with creating robust legal framework, gender neutral business policies and easy mechanism for women to have access to all technological updates. Also, it endorses mechanism to uplift women's position in society as entrepreneur who is exhaustively contributing in the development of nation.
