- India's next venture opportunity is shifting to deeptech, with frontier hardware domains like satellites replacing the prior generation of digital software exports as the country's defining startup bet.
- The source frames the pivot as a transition from a nation that built 'digital software for the world' to one that engineers frontier hardware and deep tech for 'global hard problems.'
Why it matters: India's venture capital is redirecting toward capital-intensive hardware and deeptech rather than the software-services model of the prior decade — a structural shift that demands different technical talent and longer-horizon funding than lightweight software exports required.
