When it comes to achieving a healthy work-life balance, women entrepreneurs in Haryana confront substantial hurdles. These challenges stem from cultural expectations, the duties of family life, and the pressures of business. The purpose of this study is to investigate the primary elements that make up their work-life balance, the tactics that they use, and the role that society and governmental assistance play in their lives. The research makes use of a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative analyses derived from surveys and interviews carried out with female entrepreneurs operating in a variety of industries in the state of Haryana. The findings shed light on the significant impact that family support, financial independence, and workplace flexibility have in determining the appropriate work-life balance for individuals. In addition, the study highlights the significance of technical improvements, policy frameworks, and self-management approaches in the process of reducing the potential for conflicts between work and personal life.
