Indian Founders Shift Into Deeptech Ventures

Indian startup founders and senior executives are increasingly moving from consumer-internet to deeptech sectors such as robotics, aerospace, AI, and advanced manufacturing, a trend reported in 2024–25. Examples include Suvonil Chatterjee's robotics firm Manav, General Autonomy's $3 million seed round, Amod Malviya's Pre6, and Deepinder Goyal's self-funded $25M longevity and $20M aerospace ventures. Investors expect slow, capital- and talent-intensive growth.
