“Deep tech companies should be considered as national assets.”
In India it’s not a people or policy problem, it’s the capital allocators who need to show up at the same table, says Vishesh Rajaram, Founding & Managing Partner, Speciale Invest.
On Episode 4 of the
#TheSparkSeries, in the run up to
#TechSparks2026, we break down why deep tech doesn’t follow the conventional startup playbook.
In this conversation,
@visheshrajaram, Founding & Managing Partner,
@SpecialeInvest, and
@srinathr155, Co-founder & CEO of
@AgnikulCosmos, unpack what it really takes to build frontier technology in India - from patient capital and long development cycles to why deep tech demands a fundamentally different way of building and measuring companies.
Why does deep tech need a different scorecard? Where should India place its biggest bets - energy, defence, health, space? And can India build globally competitive technology without simply imitating the US or China?
A conversation on capital, conviction, national capability and the long game of building deep tech from India, for India, and for the world.
