Abstract: Entrepreneurship has taken on special significance in the context of Indian economic growth in a rapidly changing socioeconomic and political environment, particularly in the industrial sector. In today's world of privatisation, liberalisation, and globalisation, entrepreneurs are responsible for development. Entrepreneurship is a human act of creativity. As a result, entrepreneurship helps to increase per capita income, standard of living, and capital formation in the country's poorest regions. It is a process that covers risk, uncertainty, innovation, planning, and decision-making in order to accelerate economic growth. Here, in the research paper, a field-based picture of women entrepreneurship in Mysore district of Karnataka is presented analyzing their various socio-economic statuses through a structured questionnaire.
