Our ecosystem faces complex challenges that need to be tackled

How would you rate India’s progress and position in deep tech right now?

With 32,000 to 35,000 active tech startups, and more than 80 active unicorns, India is now the third-largest tech startup ecosystem globally. Of these startups, more than 4,000 are focused on deep tech as of 2024.

While tech startups have been addressing some of the most critical national imperatives, the rise of deep tech startups, particularly in areas like AI, blockchain and robotics, reflects the ecosystem’s maturity and ambition to lead in high-impact and high-tech domains.

It is a politically motivated attempt to rewrite the complex, multilayered history of one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited metropolises.
