Asia Stories | Women and their career journeys- India and Australia with Dr Dhara Shah - a podcast by Griffith Asia Institute

Host, Professor Renee Jeffery talks to Dr Dhara Shah, Department of Business Strategy and Innovation and Griffith Asia Institute about her journey to Australia and working as a Cross-Cultural Consultant, her move to academia and research in expatriation, women and entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship is seen increasingly as a productive, fulfilling alternative to more traditional forms of employment across the globe. Women are increasingly entering the entrepreneurship area, however they are still underrepresented. Dr Shah is working on two externally funded research projects to understand the motivators and challenges women entrepreneurs face in developed and emerging economies. Sisters Support Business Together project is looking at the impact of entrepreneurial learning along with mentoring and support on self-efficacy and overall well-being of disadvantaged and precarious women over 50 years in Australia. Dr Shah’s second project titled, Going Global- Indian women social entrepreneurs focuses on understanding the self-determination, motivations and challenges of Indian women social entrepreneurs and social support systems that help or hinder on their experiences.
