Abstract
Weak linkages exist between the technology providers (universities and R&D laboratories) and the SME's as technology users; very little motivation exists for the SME's for upgrading their capabilities towards entering into subcontracting and ancillarization of activities with the larger firms in India. While surveying the current Indian scene, the author has advocated the need for SME's to utilize the technical facilities available at the S&T infrastructure created in the country and vice-versa. A special mechanism may be created at the national level to enable the SME's to upgrade their technical capacities and capabilities for producing quality products to interact with larger firms, in new and emerging fields. The article highlights the entrepreneurship capabilities which is being developed by SME's in India for producing quality products as well as undertaking ancillarization and sub-contracting activities for the larger firms in India.
