Google India hosted a grand #WomenWill event on the occasion of International Women's Day. The organisation spoke about gender equality, women financial participation, female entrepreneurship and digital inclusion. So, to empower homepreneurs, the vast majority of whom are women, Google Pay announced the launch of Business Pages which enables them to create easy catalogues of their products and services and direct people to them through a unique URL. Meaning that a Business Page owner can send the URL to customers for free and interested buyers can chat with the homepreneur about their order and pay within the chat-based interface on Google Pay. This will not only help users to connect easily with businesses but it will also help homepreneurs to provide personalised services. Also Read | Is Instagram working on a Clubhouse clone?

In order to make it easier for people to support women-led businesses, Google will enable search in English for “women-led” — “women-led restaurants,” “women-led clothing stores” and more — on Google Search and Maps. This is based on an opt-in feature on Google My Business where women-led businesses can identify as such on their Business Profiles. This will not only enhance the online presence of hundreds of women-owned businesses but customers can easily extend their support by purchasing from them, leaving a great review, and sharing their Business Profile.
