๐จLife update: Launching Industrial 47 โ a fund to back the forerunners of Indiaโs Industrial Revolution.
Over the last decade of building companies, backing founders, and serving in the military, Iโve sensed something profound shift.
Quietly, slowly, almost imperceptibly a new audacious India has come to be.
A new generation of scientists & engineers aren't just coding anymore - they're designing satellites, building robots, reinventing agriculture, reimagining defence and rethinking energy. Our deeptech startup ecosystem is growing at a staggering 40% year-on-year. For the first time in decades, we're witnessing a reverse brain drain - our brightest minds are returning home to build industries from India.
This isn't a coincidence. This is convergence.
And the world is noticing.
An Industrial India will build out the next century;
1947 marked our political independence, 2047 will mark our technological sovereignty.
When software meets steel, when code meets craft, when bits meet atoms - therein the future is forged.
You can be the right person, in the right place, at the right time - and yet have a few key pieces missing.
Leonardo da Vinci had Lorenzo de' Medici.
Walchand Hirachand had the Kingdom of Mysore.
Chandragupta Maurya had Chanakya.
The founders building the 21st century have @industrial47
There has never been a better time to reach orbit ๐๐ฎ๐ณ
@makemytripcare 6/6:
to add to the woes, the hotel front desk staff Mr Melvin lacked empathy, and lacked courtesy and was borderline arrogant in his response. i wouldnโt recommend @TuryaaChennai esp if you are going as a family.

got a feature suggestion:
usecase: when we book for a family of 2 adults and 1 child, when you show the picture for a Twin bed, it shows a picture of one large bed (pic is of King, Queen and not 2 single beds).

gratitude to Platform Inspector Mr Soviath who helped get my missed laptop back, with genuine efforts post midnight to trace it. thx also to Shatabdi mgr Mr Ranjan who secured it.
more respect and love for Railways โค๏ธ
Why do VCs *really* care about a founder's connection to the problem? It's impossible to win long term against someone who simply enjoys the game that someone else is playing for money, fame, whatever else. Loving what you do is one of the world's strongest competitive advantages
