Nasscom launching deep tech program

Here's a breakdown of the potential next big wave for Indian startups: Deep tech: This involves applying complex technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT) to solve problems in areas like healthcare, agriculture, and clean energy. Investors are looking for startups that go beyond simple consumer apps and solve substantial challenges. Focus on intellectual property (IP): Developing new, innovative products and solutions will be key for Indian startups to compete globally. This could involve creating new devices, materials, or processes. Tier 2 and 3 cities: The startup boom has largely been concentrated in metro cities. The next wave is expected to see more startups catering to the needs and challenges of smaller cities and rural areas. Social impact: There's a growing interest in startups that address social issues like poverty, education, and healthcare. These startups could use technology to create a positive impact on society.

Hi all, I graduated from IIT Delhi and have been working at well established startup since. So for a while I have been wondering why we don't have any deep tech startups doing innovation. Don't get me wrong, there are startups doing innovations but not the kind of innovation which we would call industry shattering or taking the level up a notch. Most of these innovations are just integrating what others are doing in an aggregated platform. I again wondered this today when I saw cognition launching Devin the AI software engineer. They have a pretty small yet highly talented team. We in India too have highly intelligent folks educating themselves in CS, why don't we have this mindset (even I don't have this mindset). Is it about the difference in culture or a sense of security that folks in the US have that helps them be free from an economic point of view and try innovative things ?

Let's not rant over filpkart or others as tech startups. They are Tech enabled. Let's share out some tech startups registered on Indian soil with over 100 million dollar revenue. And discuss, why are you not creating one (if you have a vision and figured problem-solution-market)? Eg: China in its developing time had many. Phone companies, circuits companies, gadgets companies, LED TV companies, semiconductors, agritech machines, plane manufacturing companies. Tik tok was a simple idea, literally most of you could have built the tech, couldn't you? Then, still why weren't we able to carry such big vision and execution. India received funds very well to replicate tiktok, yet they failed in execution and differentiation. I struggle to accept a few thoughts; 1) We are less disciplined, less dedicated, and less visionary compared to the general population of China. 2) Maybe we are more western than the western itself. We adopted and copied developed nations present and skipped their past hardwork and dedication. 3) We have grown too practical and not ready to hear impractical ideas. Share yourself similarly on related topics.

My brother is good with robotics, drones and stuff. He has been creating around it since his 5th standard. Though he is from Tier 3 college and now he is in final year. Leaving all that behind he started studying DSA. I am into software development. But I would like to know where he can apply for robotics and the stuff. I didn't find much openings. He has exceptional skills when it comes to hardware and building prototypes. Any recommendations will help. I want him to follow his dreams and not to be just another software developer. Thanks!

I’ve been considering doing an MBA solely for the reason that my undergrad (BA Mass communications) wasn’t challenging/interesting enough for me and I hardly attended classes. I’ve always been academically focused and tbh I’ve loved the process. Now I’ve decided not to do the MBA for now but I’m really looking to pick up something that’ll help me learn, keep busy and most importantly challenge me. I work in deep tech, so I do a lot of reading in my free time which mostly covers technical white papers, documentations, case studies, etc but this is for work and not for self satisfaction. I’ve been looking at blended programs from different business schools but they’re really pricey, so I’m not sure if it’ll be a wise choice to put myself in debt for that experience for a mere certificate. Been looking into fellowships as well. Do any of you have any suggestions/experience with any courses? (I’m not very happy with Stoa or GrowthX. Not exactly academic)
