Abstract

Women entrepreneurship (WE) in India is gaining increasing attention and significance as a driver of economic growth and social empowerment. This study provides a thorough examination of the multifaceted factors that shape the landscape of women entrepreneurship in the Indian context.This study delves into the multifaceted variables that influence WE with a focus on "financial capital (FC), social capital (SC), and human capital (HC)." It emphasizes the foremost importance of these variables in determining the entrepreneurial path of women and investigates the intricate relationships between them. To conduct this research, a sample of 125 women entrepreneurs operating their enterprises in Karnataka State was taken. The study treated FC, SC & HC as independent variables and WE success as the dependent variable. The findings revealed that FC had the most substantial impact, followed by HC , and finally, social capital, on the success of WE. By gaining insights from this study of these critical factors, the various stakeholders as policymakers, managers, researchers, as well wannabe WE can gather valuable insights to cultivate a supportive ecosystem for women’s entrepreneurship, ultimately fostering economic growth and development.
