China's rise is the greatest economic story of our time. India's vision to become a fully developed nation by 2047 may be the next.

India plans to transform itself from a $4 trillion economy with a per capita income of around $2,500 today into a $30 to $35 trillion economy with a per capita income of $18,000 to $20,000 by 2047.

It is one of the most ambitious and consequential economic transformations underway anywhere in the world. If successful, it will have a profoundly positive impact not only on India but on the rest of the world as well.

We want to contribute to that mission.

Achieving this vision will require a generation of ambitious founders building the technologies and industries that will power India's next stage of development.

That is why we launched India 2047 Ventures at @dsh_india in Bangalore, a frontier technology incubator designed to support extremely early stage founders working on sovereign AI infrastructure, semiconductors, robotics, defense, biotech, energy, manufacturing, space, and strategic infrastructure.

The incubation program will provide free housing, free workspace, free community, free mentorship, and access to investors and operators for three months in the heart of Bangalore.

80 startup founders joined us last night at Aspire's office to discuss work, money, belonging, and e-Nations.

We engaged in some fun intellectual speculation about the future.

James Sun from Mamba Partners talked about what certain jobs might look like 20 years from now, including roles such as a sports coach for a robotic football team or a space tour guide.

Alyssa Nicole from Aspire discussed how, 20 years from now, accounting might be embedded into every transaction, potentially eliminating the need for traditional accounting and reconciliation.

Representing Draper Nation and e-America, I shared my thoughts on how nation states may look and function very differently 20 years from now, and how physical passports may no longer exist because identity could be embedded within our biometrics.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. See you at the next one.

@vikbharati @dsh_india The Community Collective Program for Aspiring Entrepreneurs in Bangalore is a great experience!

[Vikram Bharati @vikbharati]

25 students recently walked into Founder Startup House in Bangalore with an emploYEE mindset and, 72 hours later, walked out with an emploYER mindset.

The team just wrapped the monthly Community Collective cohort at @dsh_india. Through sessions on founder mindset, customer discovery, GTM, AI tools, and rapid execution, students were immediately testing ideas and talking to potential customers.

The next cohort is in June. If you want to experience it, apply here 👉 https://t.co/lDlg5zDlnE

LEARN. BUILD. WORK. LIVE.

Most people misunderstand the sheer size of the TAM in pharma.

A single drug, Merck & Co.'s Keytruda, generates $25B in topline revenue. In comparison, Anthropic, one of the most valuable AI companies in the world, is at a $60B run rate.

We suspect that as AI, and eventually AGI, accelerates scientific discovery, capital is going to rotate aggressively into longevity, therapeutics, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. People are going to want to live longer, and they are going to put serious money behind that.

This is why we invested very early in Pharmint.

Pharma is not just about blockbuster oncology drugs in wealthy markets. The bigger, less discussed opportunity is access. Billions of people in emerging markets still need reliable, affordable generic medicines and often cannot get them.

Pharmint is building the infrastructure to change that, with a growing order book across The Middle East, Central Africa, South America, and South Asia, alongside strategic supplier partnerships that are accelerating the regulatory groundwork needed to make it all possible.

Archer Chiang was building AI long before it was fashionable. That’s when we invested in him.

Through https://t.co/4Db1u0VLwA, Archer has built the infrastructure for personalising employee relationships. Today, 233 enterprises, 18 public companies, and some of the largest organisations in the world are using his platform, including JPMorgan Chase, Coca-Cola, Rakuten, eToro, and AWS.

Giftpack has transformed employee relationships into an intelligent system powered by AI, personalisation, behavioural data, and global logistics infrastructure.

For decades, corporate gifting was generic, manual, and difficult to personalise at scale. Giftpack reimagined the entire category by building AI systems capable of understanding preferences, cultural context, and human behavior to create highly personalized experiences across more than 195 countries.

As AI reshapes industries worldwide, one of the largest opportunities may be in making human relationships more intelligent, scalable, and meaningful.

DSH Ventures is proud to back disruptors like Archer very early on, long before it becomes fashionable.

Indian founders should stop copying the Silicon Valley model in India. It is a trap.

Too many young founders in India still treat famous American founders and companies as the blueprint for success. In many ways, that mindset has become another form of self inflicted colonialism.

The Silicon Valley model works for America because it is built on top of: global capital markets (Wall Street), money printer (USD), global military power (carrier strike groups), and cultural influence (Hollywood).

India has none of them.

India operates in a completely different context. I do not claim to fully know what the Indian model looks like yet. But I am increasingly certain that it will not emerge by endlessly copying Silicon Valley.

Two people I think Indian founders should study more carefully are Ratan Tata and Sridhar Vembu of Zoho.

Ratan Tata built for the Indian context, not by importing Western assumptions into India. Sridhar Vembu draws lessons not just from Silicon Valley but also from Japan around self reliance, long term thinking, and national development.

One of the great things about @dsh_india is that the team encourages young founders to think independently instead of blindly following whatever comes through Hollywood and Wall Street.

Who else do you think Indian founders should learn from?

[DSH Ventures @dshventures]

Congrats to @dtaubyte on its landmark partnership with @djezzy and @AlgeriaVenture to launch AventureCloudz, a full stack AI cloud platform.

Powered by Taubyte’s open source, Git native technology and deployed on Djezzy’s cloud marketplace, this is a major step toward building local AI infrastructure at scale. A platform that helps developers and startups move from idea to product faster, while strengthening digital sovereignty and expanding access to next generation cloud tools.

Proud to back Taubyte as they help enable a new wave of builders and tech talent across Algeria and beyond.

@vikbharati @dsh_india Great opportunity Bangalore!

[Vikram Bharati @vikbharati]

Bangalore, if you’ve been sitting on an idea and waiting for the right time to start, this might be it.

The Community Collective for Future Founders is back at Founder Startup House. It’s a 3 day, build in public experience where you take an idea, test it, break it, and rebuild it.

You’ll go deep into your market, shape your business model, and build the right narrative. More importantly, you’ll start thinking like a founder.

Everything is led by founders, operators, and angel investors who are actively building and investing.

If you’re exploring an idea or ready to step into the founder mindset, this is a great place to start.

May 8–10
Founder Startup House, Bangalore

@svembu thank you for writing this wonderful letter. As an Indian who migrated to America nearly three decades ago, it resonates deeply with me.

It is in the interest not just of India, but of the entire world, that India prospers. The prosperity of 20% of the world’s population will undeniably increase the prosperity of the whole world. As they say, it would “move the needle” globally.

My way of giving back to India has been, along with my partners, launching @dsh_india, which is now one of the thriving hubs for startups in Bangalore, where thousands of ideas turn into businesses every year.

I hope to continue giving back to India and, in doing so, to the world.
