From space exploration to electric mobility, the country is rapidly emerging as a global hub for deep-tech innovation. Visionary entrepreneurs and thought leaders are spearheading this evolution, building technologies that push the boundaries of science and redefine global benchmarks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Traditionally, India&#8217;s venture capital landscape has been dominated by sectors such as e-commerce, FinTech, and SaaS. These industries, with their rapid go-to-market strategies and clear revenue models, have produced a plethora of unicorns, cementing India\u2019s reputation as a global startup hub. However, a notable shift is underway as venture capitalists turn their focus toward the less explored yet immensely promising domain of deep tech. This transition reflects a growing emphasis on sustainable business models with tangible impacts, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, where initial exuberance is giving way to measured, strategic investments.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">To celebrate these innovators, <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/newsreach.in\/\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff;font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><i><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><u>NewsReach<\/u><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"> has launched a special edition called <\/span><i><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Crafting Bharat: Deep-Tech Edition<\/span><\/i><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">.

My early life was spent observing my father build a business, which instilled in me a fascination for entrepreneurship. When I stumbled into venture capital, I realised it was a perfect alignment of my passion for working alongside builders and my desire to help them succeed by providing a unique vantage point.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">\u201c<\/span><i><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Venture capital is my way of living the entrepreneurial spirit, not with one company but with dozens<\/span><\/i><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Over time, I\u2019ve come to appreciate the privilege of being able to support and challenge founders, helping them navigate their blind spots and scale their vision.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><strong>Do you, in many ways, think of Speciale as a startup itself?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Absolutely. Speciale is no different from any other startup, except that we are in the business of funding startups. &#8220;<\/span><i><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Speciale is a startup that funds other startups. It\u2019s a mindset that keeps us agile and forward-looking<\/span><\/i><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">.&#8221; The philosophy we operate with is rooted in innovation and the pursuit of uncharted territories in science and technology. Like any startup, we face the challenges of raising capital, building an organisation, and simultaneously making impactful investments. Thinking of ourselves as a startup keeps us agile and driven. Agility allows us to respond quickly, make faster decisions, and embrace the fluidity required in this space. Personally, I\u2019d find it extremely frustrating to work in a rigid environment where even scheduling a meeting could take two weeks. At Speciale Invest, we prioritise action and efficiency, enabling us to achieve more in less time. I firmly believe that even an organisation as large as an elephant can run like a horse if it embraces the startup mindset.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><strong>Can you share how you felt when milestones like the Ultraviolet bike or the Agnikul\u2019s launch materialised?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">The overwhelming emotion in moments like these is disbelief. With Agnikul, we were involved from the very inception of their journey. The process was riddled with doubts and hurdles\u2014attending multiple meetings that didn\u2019t yield results, grappling with uncertainties, and questioning whether success was even possible. Watching the rocket launch eventually materialise was profoundly gratifying. The sheer complexity of solving hard engineering problems in a nascent field made it a monumental achievement. On the other hand, Ultraviolet&#8217;s journey was about redefining excellence in an already established market. The challenge was to stand out, deliver a flawless product, and ensure that even the first vehicle delivered to a customer was perfect. These milestones remind us of the resilience and vision of these founders. Watching companies evolve from two-person teams to thriving enterprises with hundreds of employees reinforces the value of long-term belief and perseverance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">&#8220;<\/span><i><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Moments like these validate that science can be built and inspire us to go back and fund more ambitious ideas.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><strong>Why did you choose to build a deep-tech venture capital firm out of India?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">This decision wasn\u2019t about analysing market gaps or finding a niche. It was about staying true to who we are. Arjun and I thrive in ambiguous situations and naturally gravitate towards pre-seed and seed-stage investments. Deep tech appealed to us because it represents an unparalleled opportunity for value creation. Building products that can withstand a decade of competition and technological evolution requires exceptional foresight and resilience. For us, deep tech is more than a business choice; it\u2019s about championing innovation that holds the potential to create lasting impact. By focusing on projects with strong competitive moats and sustainable value, we aim to back companies that can endure and shine despite immense challenges.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><strong>What do you wish to leave behind as your legacy in venture capital?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">My ultimate goal is for Speciale to evolve into an enduring organisation that outlasts its founders and continues to bring the best of Indian technology to the global stage.
