Traditionally, India'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's 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.
To celebrate these innovators, NewsReach has launched a special edition called Crafting Bharat: Deep-tech, powered by Innovation Venture Studio in association with Speciale Invest, BYT Avenue, and Faad Capital; this initiative brings you inspiring stories of the visionaries shaping India's tech landscape.
In this episode, Nithish Kumar, investment analyst at Speciale Invest, speaks with Vishesh Rajaram, managing partner, Speciale Invest, to explore the philosophy and passion behind becoming a venture capitalist. From the thrill of backing bold ideas to navigating the uncertainties of early-stage investments, Rajaram shares his insights on the entrepreneurial spirit that fuels Speciale's success.
