Over the past few days, a lot has been said about the deeptech ecosystem (or the lack of it) in India. I wanted to spend some time on the fundamentals: What constitutes deeptech? A thread:

#Thread #Marina beach is one of the most iconic destinations in Chennai and one of the most visited beaches in the world. However the beach as we see today didn't exist a century ago. This thread explains the formation of #Chennai's Marina beach 1/n

In 2 pages @JeffBezos teaches you more about high standards than you'll learn from reading 2 books. The art of summarising that which resists summary is critical to achieving greatness. The world will forget you, except what you've written down, then what you've written down well

Incredibly incredibly proud of the team at @AgnikulCosmos

Humbled to announce the successful completion of our first flight - Mission 01 of Agnibaan SOrTeD - from our own and India’s first & only private Launchpad within SDSC-SHAR at Sriharikota. All the mission objectives of this controlled vertical ascent flight were met and performance was nominal. The vehicle was completely designed in-house and was powered by the world’s first single piece 3d printed engine and also happens to be India’s first flight with a semi cryo engine. Our greatest thanks to @INSPACeIND @isro @iitmadras & our incredibly committed team in helping us prove that a private player can design and fly original space tech hardware in India. #madeInIndiaForTheWorld

@adityarao310 I am collecting more info, have a call with him soon. Ask more questions you want, will ask him.

I was on a call with an entrepreneur who said he only sells on Amazon North America sitting in India. From that moment, background music of Swades is playing in my head. Imagining thousands of MSME’s across India doing this. 🔥🤯🇮🇳 Below image taken from newly released “E-commerce exports Handbook for MSMEs” by DGFT, India.
