📄 Abstract
This paper examines the level of awareness and accessibility of the Startup India Initiative and Karnataka Startup Policy (KSP) among entrepreneurs in the Kalyana Karnataka region. Based on primary data from 109 registered startups, the study uses descriptive and inferential statistics to assess how entrepreneurs perceive and access policy benefits. Statistical tools, including Chi-square tests and correlation analysis, were applied to measure associations between demographic variables and awareness/accessibility levels. The results reveal that awareness of both schemes is moderate, with accessibility hindered by procedural complexity, information gaps, and geographic imbalance. The findings highlight the need for stronger outreach mechanisms, simplified policy procedures, and localized incubation infrastructure to ensure inclusive entrepreneurial growth.
