Abstract The mutual fund industry in India is experiencing rapid expansion and is considered to be one of the most rapidly growing sectors within the nation's economy. Furthermore, it possesses significant prospects for sustained and substantial development in the long run. Mutual funds, along with their diverse range of instruments including systematic investment plans (SIPs), equity funds, debt funds, and hybrid fund instruments, have made a substantial contribution to economic growth in both the corporate sector and among individuals over the past decade. The current study focuses on the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), which has emerged as a feasible alternative investment strategy for numerous investors aiming to achieve substantial returns while mitigating risk through incremental investments. The utilization of these funds facilitates the ease, availability, and affordability of saving and investing. The systematic investment plan (SIP) offers several advantages, such as professional management, diversification, diversity, liquidity, affordability, comfort, and ease of record keeping. Additionally, SIP is subject to stringent government regulation and ensures complete transparency. The current study has examined various variables related to investment and the factors that investors consider when selecting a Systematic Investment Plan. The objective of this study is to examine the level of awareness of systematic investment plans (SIP) among information technology (IT) employees and investigate the influence of demographic variables on their engagement in such investment plans. The primary objective of this study is to examine the influence of systematic investment plan (SIP) awareness on individuals' investment choices. The primary objective of this study is to examine the viability of Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) in the Indian context, while considering the various issues, intricacies, and factors involved. Additionally, the study aims to propose strategies and approaches to effectively address the challenges associated with developing mutual funds in alignment with the economic growth potential of the country. The present study utilizes primary data obtained from a sample of 112 information technology employees located in Bangalore. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 25. The findings of the study indicate that IT employees possess awareness regarding SIP funds, albeit with a restricted comprehension of the structural and operational aspects of SIP investments. The choice to allocate funds towards Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) investments is notably impacted by variables such as age, income level, and educational attainment. The level of awareness regarding SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) has a significant impact on investment decision-making, as evidenced by a substantially high proportion. There exists a necessity to enhance awareness and facilitate the dissemination of information regarding SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) and its potential advantages.
