which share similar goals and decide to form a network or organization in order to explore
economies of scale combined with flexibility and strong entrepreneurial drive. Economies of scale
can be explored in business functions such as business development, financing, market analysis, marketing communications, IT / MIS infrastructure,
human capital management, legal support, financial & accounting management while each participating
start-up focuses to research & development, product Management, sales & pre-sales / after-sales
