The unorganised sector plays a vital role in India’s economy, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, yet faces challenges due to socio-economic disparities and limited tech access. This study analyzes perceptions of 100 respondents across gender, age, income, and education on 17 future prospects of the sector using ANOVA, t-tests, and visual insights. Results show higher optimism among males, youth (19–25), and educated individuals, particularly for rural market growth and employment opportunities. Significant differences were found in Q10 (gender) and Q12 (education), with older and less-educated groups showing lower optimism about digital expansion. The study highlights the need for inclusive policies focused on digital literacy, income support, and outreach for women, the elderly, and under-educated populations to promote balanced growth in the unorganised sector.
