What a great meeting of minds. 1. What does it take #deeptech #startup to grow beyond #India? 2. What are the creative ways in which you can fundraise? Thank you to everyone that showed up. Some of my takeaways 1. For most software deep tech startups the larger markets are outside India, most often US 2. For hardware startups, this may not be the case and what works in India can work anywhere else 3. Its still hard to raise capital, but there are several investors who understand this. Certainly some way to go. 4. Founders need to educate themselves on the different types and series of funding and the investor expectations associated with that 5. One neat trick shared by a founder for getting customers in other countries to trust you - instead of going to events there: Invite them to see your factory/lab (probably not for software). 6. Leverage corporate accelerators if it will give you the right tech and access 7. Strategic investment can be money as well as door opening, if you choose the right one. Many IT services companies are already doing this. We will publish the complete summary soon. Arihant Kothari Nehal Pandya for all the organizing and supporting.

Reflecting on My Experience at TiEconDelhi 2024! TiEconDelhi 2024 was an absolute whirlwind of insights and inspiration! I was part of a panel discussion "Leveraging Intellectual Property for Startup Valuation and Investment in the Indian Deep Tech Ecosystem," alongside esteemed panelists #Govind Kedia and #Sunil k Shekhawat. A special thanks to them for their invaluable contributions. The conversation revolved around the immense significance of Intellectual Property (IP) in shaping the trajectory of startups within India's deep tech landscape. Additionally, I extend my gratitude to the dynamic event powered by Arctic Invent for providing such a vibrant platform. Here are some key highlights from our dynamic discussion: 🌱 Empowering Startups with IP: We delved into how Intellectual Property serves as a catalyst for innovation, providing startups with a competitive edge and a platform for growth. 🌱 Navigating the Patent Landscape: We explored the nuances of patenting in the realm of deep tech, discussing strategies to effectively navigate the complex IP landscape and maximize the value of innovative ideas. 🌱 AI: A Game-Changer: My passion for Artificial Intelligence (AI) was reignited during our discussion. It was fascinating to emphasize how AI isn't just a concept but a patentable model—a fusion of algorithms and data that has the potential to revolutionize industries. TiEconDelhi 2024 was more than just a conference; it was a gathering of visionaries, innovators, and trailblazers shaping the future of entrepreneurship in India. #TiEconDelhi2024 #IntellectualProperty #StartupValuation #DeepTech #Innovation #AI
