Women entrepreneurs in developing countries like India find opportunity recognition challenging thereby, preventing them from creating new ventures, particularly SMEs. Social desirability and mentorship have been recognised an important dimension of social support for women entrepreneurs.

Similarly, external knowledge provided by experienced mentor can be one of the most relevant sources of information for women to recognise opportunities and exploit it by creating new ventures.

However, little knowledge has been advanced to investigate their influence on mentorship and social desirability opportunity recognition and creation of women owned SMEs in India.
