🚨 Ahmedabad-based Cligent Aerospace has successfully completed 18 test flights on their scaled down hybrid-electric STOL fixed-wing prototype.

They are now working to develop their full-scale aircraft that will have a payload capacity of 1.5 tonnes and range of up to 1,000km.

Robotics feels like a solved problem—until you talk to the people actually building it.

As @Amar_2407, founder of @SkylarkLabs (our Portco), likes to joke:

“If you go on Twitter, you were having lunch with your humanoid last week.”

Reality is very different.

Unlike LLMs, robotics has to solve intelligence and physics. Manipulation, controls, sensing, power, safety, hardware, manufacturing—every layer is hard.

The good news? The pieces are finally coming together:

• More capital than ever before
• Better talent entering the field
• AI unlocking physical intelligence
• Massive market demand waiting

We’re probably much closer to a robotics breakthrough than most people think.

The real question is whether countries like India will help build this future—or once again be late to the party.

I explore this in my latest @moneycontrolcom column.

Global space economy = $546B. India’s share = just $8B. The gap isn’t talent, it’s capital & scale. From launches to in-space logistics, India’s SpaceTech decade starts now.

90% of unicorn funding went to Fintech & E-commerce. <10% to deep-tech. That’s changing, $324M raised in early 2025 alone. India’s deep-tech decade has begun.

At the BASACA Climate & DeepTech Mixer, our Co-Founder Ankit Anand shared why:

- Global South must be the launchpad for solutions
- Tech > Policy — scalable beats subsidised
- Now is the time to build resilient climate tech

India supplies 20% of global generics & 60% of vaccine, yet <3% of biotech patents. That’s changing.

With talent, startups & capital, India can move from generics to genomics.

5 unicorns in 5 years, a bold challenge, but an even bigger opportunity.

Breakthrough tech, global partnerships, bold founders, policy reforms, and ecosystem strength will make it possible.

India’s space journey is shaping the future of DeepTech.
