The role of VIT-TBI will also depend on the individual cases, their strengths, weaknesses and extent of support required by the tenet incubatees.
VIT-TBI can, all incubation center, only assist the venture promoters in all these stages, but can never replace entrepreneurship demanded from the promoters for business.
