This study investigates the role of digital finance in the economic empowerment of women entrepreneurs in Vijayapura District, Karnataka. Using primary data collected from 120 respondents, the research examines the extent of digital finance adoption and its influence on various empowerment dimensions such as income control, decision-making, credit access, market reach, and financial literacy. Statistical tools, including descriptive analysis, correlation, and multiple regression, were employed to analyze the data. The findings reveal a high level of adoption of digital financial services, particularly UPI payments and mobile banking. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.691, p < 0.01) was observed between digital finance usage and economic empowerment, indicating that women who actively use digital platforms experience greater financial independence and business expansion. Regression analysis further confirmed that income control (β = 0.512) and market reach (β = 0.501) are the most significantly influenced dimensions. The study concludes that digital finance acts as a powerful enabler for women’s entrepreneurial growth and financial inclusion in semi-urban areas. However, limited access to digital credit and gaps in financial literacy remain challenges. The research emphasizes the need for policies that strengthen digital literacy programs and enhance credit accessibility for women entrepreneurs to ensure sustainable empowerment through digital financial inclusion.
