This study presents an on-site inspection and analysis of a running indigenous manufacturer and exporter operating in the highly competitive capacitor industry in South India.Since the liberalisation of the Indian economy in the 1990s, the industry landscape has undergone significant change. The ready availability of cheap imports, along with takeovers, mergers and new legislation, has fundamentally altered market dynamics.The unit under study was a pioneer in the industry,...

A comprehensive look at renewable energy sources and rural technology. With the ongoing pollution crisis and spread of dust borne viruses, we need to rethink the traditional.methods which use fossil fuel.Energy is one of the major building blocks of modern society. Energy is needed to create goods from natural resources. Economic development and improved standards of energy are complex processes that share a common denominator: the availability of an adequate and reliable supply of...

Problems asked in educational settings tend to rely on standard template solutions (plug and play in modern parlance) that leave little thinking for the student.The interplay of different fields in Engineering requires a more broad understanding starting with basic concepts and moving on to problem definition, analysis, using numerical tools and getting a handle on the solution. This can only be facilitated with continually updating ones expertise by practicing older and newer type...
