Abstract:
Start-ups are essentially entrepreneurial ventures with intent to grow into large
successful enterprises. A significant percentage of the start-up ventures fail in
their evolution process as they face unique growth and resources-related
challenges which require innovative responses. Entrepreneurs often make up for
the lack of resources by leveraging their contacts and networks embedded in their
social context. Incubators are emerging as a critical constituent of the social
context for start-ups in the contemporary times and they have proven effective in
increasing the survival chances of start-ups in decisive ways. Present research
essentially focuses on exploring the role of incubators in survival and growth of
start-ups and also identifies the various benefits which start-ups get through the
support of incubators.
