| Abstract: | |
|
Indian manufacturing sector is growing at very fast pace and technology differentiation between a developed country and developing country are getting blurred. Apart from catering to domestic market Indian manufacturing industry has increased export significantly in last two decade. In light of this manufacturing sector growth, the expectation on R&D has evolved significantly. This talk is intended to discuss how the mechanical engineering R&D has evolved on maturity scale and the expectation of business from engineering team. |
