India is at an inflection point in its technological evolution as evidenced by the growth of the sector. The country is poised to drive artificial intelligence (AI) investments worth $6 billion-plus by 2025. India’s moment to ride the next phase in the S-curve of technological advancement and leapfrog into emerging domains is now.

This includes not only AI, but also augmented reality / virtual reality (AR/VR), big data and analytics, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), drones, and robotics. These ‘deep technologies’ will drive the next wave of innovation across industries and fuel the next phase of economic growth. For India to become a global innovation leader, we need to build capabilities strategically yet rapidly across the deeptech value chain—from research to commercialisation—in these cutting-edge technologies.
