Over the last decade of building companies, backing founders, and serving in the military, I’ve sensed something profound shift.
Quietly, slowly, almost imperceptibly a new audacious India has come to be.
A new generation of scientists & engineers aren't just coding anymore - they're designing satellites, building robots, reinventing agriculture, reimagining defence and rethinking energy. Our deeptech startup ecosystem is growing at a staggering 40% year-on-year. For the first time in decades, we're witnessing a reverse brain drain - our brightest minds are returning home to build from India.
This isn't a coincidence. This is convergence.
And the world is noticing.
An Industrial India will build out the next century;
1947 marked our political independence, 2047 will mark our technological sovereignty.
When software meets steel, when code meets craft, when bits meet atoms - therein the future is forged.
You can be the right person, in the right place, at the right time - and yet have a few key pieces missing.
Leonardo da Vinci had Lorenzo de' Medici.
Walchand Hirachand had the Kingdom of Mysore.
Chandragupta Maurya had Chanakya.
The founders building the 21st century have Industrial 47.
There has never been a better time to reach orbit 🚀🇮🇳
