Abstract: In India, among the start ups many new ventures fail and for the few that survive and grow, there are always numerous problems. In order to make these surviving units productive and cost effective in today’s competitive environment, ‘Business Incubation’ is emerging as one of the most innovative instruments to support small enterprises. In this direction in India, following on the world pattern, several initiatives have been taken over the last decade to encourage the concept of business incubation. Besides profiling the existing ‘Business Incubators’ in India, the paper dwells upon a case study for exploring the relevance of business incubation for enhancing the productive capacity.

Abstract: The primarily application of Niobium based Superalloys is in the manufacturing of Space propulsion system due to it’s light weight , ability to withstand high stress levels at elevated temperatures and also have a low ductile-tobrittle transition temperature for withstanding high frequency vibrations at cryogenic temperatures. Niobium C- 103 is selected due to its excellent fabric ability, high melting point and Corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. It is important to choose the best machining parameters for achieving optimum performance characteristics. In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on surface roughness and cutting force in finish hard turning experiments of niobium C-103 on Retrofitted VDF lathe using PVD coated Tungsten Carbide insert in Dry conditions. The methodologies used for optimizing the machining parameters are based on the integrated approach of Response Sur
