Deeptech & Manufacturing

Engineering depth is the new wedge.

AI is collapsing the time it takes to build in the physical world. Build cycles for semiconductors, electronics, robotics, and embodied AI are shrinking from years to months: more attempts, faster feedback, more founders taking real shots at hardware. At the same time, Indian manufacturing has moved beyond build-to-print: design input, build-to-spec execution, and quality ownership are now standard. Engineering depth, not just cost, is the entry point. We back the founders making India a default part of global supply chains, and the technological foundations of a self-reliant 2047.

Manufacturing & Deeptech

The hard problems India must solve to become a developed nation by 2047.

A self-reliant India needs more than software. It needs advanced manufacturing capable of competing globally, indigenous semiconductors and compute, defence and space platforms built at home, and the energy and EV infrastructure to power them.

We back founders building this hard layer, from the factories and processes that make India's industrial future, to the chips, platforms, and frontier technologies that will define its sovereignty over the next two decades.
