Dr. Paramasivan Vellala received the Best Paper Award, titled, “Impact of Digital Transformation on Financial Inclusion and Sustainable Development Goals: Evidence from Major Indian” at the International Conference on Emerging Trends in Management Practice – SAMAVAYA, held from February 21 to 22, 2025. This paper examines how the Digital Public Infrastructure contributed to achieving Digital Financial Inclusion. It identified 16 major Indian states to study the impact of rapid digital transformation on financial inclusion. This paper used the Econometric Model and the statistical tool of Multiple Regression Analysis to study the economic variables that show empirical significance. The results show that access to banking, women’s employment, and the number of internet users in both rural and urban India are the dominant variables that have triggered digital financial inclusion in India.
