A study by Speciale Invest reveals that the average seed cheque size for Indian deep-tech deals has surged 5.3 times over the past eight years, thanks to government initiatives and venture capitalist confidence. Despite this growth, deep-tech startups are advised to explore alternative funding methods like venture debt to mitigate science risks. The report, titled ‘India’s Deep-tech Revolution,’ highlights India’s low global funding share for deep-tech (1.30%) compared to overall tech funding (3.86%). It emphasizes the potential in sectors such as space and green hydrogen, urging for more supportive policies to enhance the ecosystem and demonstrate investor returns.
