Title

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS’ DEMOGRAPHIC AND ENTREPRENEURIAL PROFILES IN TAMIL NADU, KERALA, AND KARNATAKA

Abstract

Women entrepreneurship plays a vital role in regional economic diversification and inclusive development across India. This study presents a comparative analysis of demographic and entrepreneurial characteristics of women entrepreneurs in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka. Drawing data from 3,280 respondents under the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY), the research explores age, education, residence, marital status, and family size alongside entrepreneurship indicators such as motivation, loan category, community support, and business challenges. Results show distinct regional variations: Tamil Nadu demonstrates higher educational attainment and formalized entrepreneurship, Kerala exhibits community-driven and passion-oriented entrepreneurship, and Karnataka reflects youth-led and necessity-based enterprises. Despite PMMY’s positive contribution to financial inclusion, women still face barriers in capital access, market competition, and skilled labour availability. The study highlights that demographic diversity strongly influences entrepreneurial patterns, suggesting the need for state-specific policy interventions and empowerment programs to strengthen women’s participation in sustainable business development.
