The Deep Tech Playbook
Sector insights for the Indian VC landscape
The Deep Tech Playbook: Sector Insights for the Indian VC Landscape is an industry research report designed for venture capital audiences, mapping investment opportunities across five high-growth deep tech sectors in India - MedTech, ClimateTech, DefenseTech, SpaceTech, and DroneTech.
Each sector brief follows a consistent, VC-readable structure: global market sizing with projected CAGRs, a snapshot of notable Indian fundraises (with focus areas and round stages), and a structured breakdown of tailwinds, headwinds, and key trends shaping the investment thesis.
The report is built around an India-specific lens — highlighting policy levers like PLI schemes, indigenization mandates, ABDM, and IN-SPACe, while also flagging structural risks like funding squeezes, regulatory complexity, and talent shortages. The startup profiles range from early-stage (Bellatrix Aerospace at $1.27M) to growth-stage (ReNew Power at $400M), giving readers a sense of where capital is flowing across the maturity curve.
The overall framing positions India not just as a market to watch, but as an emerging deep tech exporter — particularly in defense, space, and health diagnostics.
