India is home to over 3,600 deeptech startups, with 480 new incorporations in the past year, doubling the previous year’s figures. Among these, more than 100 startups have pioneered IP or innovative solutions in new domains, according to a Nasscom report. Ranked third globally in the tech startup ecosystem and sixth in deeptech, India boasts emerging companies like Agnikul, GalaxyEye, HealthPlix, Sarvam AI, and Peptris. These firms are tackling critical issues in healthtech, sustainability, AI, and space tech. A significant 74% of these startups are focused on AI, up from 62% between 2014 and 2022. However, global funding downturns affected the sector, with deeptech investments falling by 77% to $850 million last year. The report also noted 31 M&A deals, a 45% decline, as focus shifted to enhancing AI capabilities. Strategic sectors identified include space and defence, healthcare, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. Support for deeptech growth includes access to patient capital, strong R&D partnerships, streamlined government procurement, and implementing the 2023 Deeptech Policy.
