Why are startups important? And more so in a large country like India with large problems? Well, because corporates or the big moneybags do not innovate! Again, why so? Not because they don't wish to but their structures and hierarchy are such that, disruption is not favoured and could lead to unfavourable internal slowdown. Ironical but that's how it is. Imagine a large vessel navigating the high seas — unless a problem, you can't start fiddling with a screwdriver to make it go faster or chart a better course (metaphor). And here come in startups, those magical disruptive entities which can innovate and move at breakneck speeds. If things don't pan out well, they can pivot as needed and are even allowed to fail. Most know this part but what if — taking the large vessel analogy above —these small boat-like startups/scaleups can attach to the ship and then work together? Doesn't happen. Usually, the corporate just buys out the startup and absorbs it into its larger structure. Not a bad outcome but innovation suffers, again. The need of the hour and more so, in India, where it is lacking is: 🔹Open Innovation: A concept where corporates use external ideas and innovations (often from startups) to advance their own technology and products. 🔹Innovation Ecosystem: A network of corporates, startups, academic institutions, and other stakeholders working together to foster innovation. 🔹Innovation Scouting: Corporates actively searching for and identifying startups with innovative solutions that can be integrated into their own offerings. These collaborations will be crucial going forward in the Deeptech ecosystem as they allow corporates to stay competitive and innovative by leveraging the agility and creativity of startups, while startups benefit from the resources, market access, and expertise of established corporates.

Could there be something harder than building a #startup? How about a building in #India for the world? Is there anything harder? Yes, there is. That is building a #deeptech or #emergingtech startup from India Over the last 5-6 years I have had the opportunity to work with - consult, advise and mentor over a hundred startups.  Large number of them are deep tech, thanks to the opportunity to work with nasscom deeptech startups and #founders There all kinds of technologies and some very ambitious teams. The tech varies from AI, drones, health tech, semiconductor, robotics, quantum computing, natural language, computer vision and more. Not only has it been a great opportunity to learn and contribute But it has also given me a front row seat for what are the struggles Few of them are ready to take off but many are saddled with challenges  Here are some of the common ones Long brewing period - most of this tech takes a long time to mature. It's often uncertain until proven that a particular problem can be solved with the tech. Finding the right approach, right customer segment and urgent and important problem take even more time Lack of capital - usually it requires time and a lot of capital - so called patient capital ( this is hard to come by in India) - most of these startups are competing with companies that are funded at least 10X and sometimes even more Can't sell in your backyard - most startups look for early adopters in India which is rarely the right target market for early adopters and certainly not for scale - more advanced and tech mature economies not only have more money but they also have appetite for experimenting - trying out new tech Limited or utter lack of marketing (and selling) - most of the founding teams are tech focused and spend more of their energy working on the tech, instead of marketing and selling it - this is not a criticism as much as its a practical reality - few do have a balanced team with tech and business and they tend to do better It's not all bad. There are certainly quite a few that are breaking through. There are investors who are patient. There are communities like Nasscom Deep Tech club. There are even supporting things being done at the policy level and more in the works. All said and done, there is a lot more to be done to catchup and even more so to lead. I applaud all the founders who are taking the risk and diving in against all odds. What more can be done? What are your ideas? Experience?
