Deep tech startups are companies that build products based on advanced scientific and engineering innovation, focusing on areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, biotechnology, and advanced materials. Unlike traditional tech ventures that develop apps or digital platforms, deep tech firms tackle complex real-world problems through original research and breakthrough technologies.
In India, the deep tech ecosystem has grown rapidly, supported by a strong pool of engineers, rising investor interest, and government initiatives. According to NASSCOM, India now hosts over 3,000 deep tech startups, growing at nearly 25% annually, with innovation clusters emerging in Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, and Delhi NCR that are driving advancements in healthcare, agriculture, defense, and manufacturing.
