The rural female entrepreneurs do have their own challenges in being able to access modern technology, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. These obstacles interfere with their creativity, broadening their operations, and competing in the current swiftly evolving markets. Nevertheless, Varun Hiremath is changing this with the introduction of mobile AI and STEM labs that are specifically targeted towards women entrepreneurs in the rural setting. These labs provide practical training, online resources, and mentorship to ensure that women receive the necessary knowledge in coding, AI and STEM uses. This initiative is enabling Varun to empower women to establish businesses, become innovative, and be financially independent.

Rural Women Entrepreneurs have obstacles

The rural women are usually subjected to various challenges that block their opportunities with AI and STEM education:

• Access barriers to digital devices and AI learning platforms: A large number of rural regions do not have the means to equip women with the tools and resources needed to engage in technology-based learning.
• Lack of practical training in STEM and coding: Women have a low exposure to real-life training in technology, coding, and business management.
• Cultural barriers to engagement in technology programs: Cultural beliefs and social expectations prevent women in certain rural settings to engage in traditionally male-dominated industries such as STEM.
• Minimal exposure to the modern business and entrepreneurship skills: Women living in rural setting generally lack access to the most recent business training which prevents their competent ability to start up and develop competitive businesses.
• Lack of mentorship and guidance to STEM and AI applications: Rural women usually do not have access to mentors who can guide them on how to use their knowledge in practice without mentorship.

The mobile AI and STEM labs offered by Varun Hiremath are meant to dismantle these obstacles, providing practical, inclusive and tech-based solutions to the rural women to give them the necessary skills that they can use to prosper.
