[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Met India’s brightest space StartUps.

As always, came away impressed by their energy and ambition.

You would love their insights and optimism.

Do tell me...what excites you most about India’s space journey?

#NationalSpaceDay

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

India’s space ambitions soar to new heights!

The successful launch of #Vikram1, India’s first privately developed launch vehicle, by #SkyrootAirspace @SkyrootA today, is truly historic.

The 🚀 is a reflection of what can be achieved when innovation & entrepreneurial drive of 🇮🇳’s youth are backed by the bold reforms of PM @narendramodi’s vision.

@Suhail When execution becomes commoditized, clarity of thought becomes the real leverage.

@IndianTechGuide Tier-2 and strategic regional infrastructure expansion will play a massive role in India’s next decade of economic growth.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

@warikoo The real edge today is intentional attention allocation.
Where you invest your evenings eventually shapes your future.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

@aviralbhat Markets periodically reward perception faster than performance.

But compounding has always favoured businesses with real fundamentals underneath the narrative.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

A 2.4 GW thermal power project with ₹33,000 crore investment is a solid push for energy security and industrial growth in Bharat.

This also opens massive white space for Indian startups to co-build smarter energy tech, efficient grids, cleaner innovations, and stubborn Atmanirbhar solutions that make power infrastructure future-ready.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

Talent and intelligence are overrated; what truly matters is stubborn courage to act.

After seeing thousands of founders build in Bharat, I’ve realised the ones who win are not the smartest. They are the ones who simply start, iterate with stubbornness, and co-build without waiting for permission.
This is the real startup mindset.

Permission isn’t granted. It’s taken.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

@TheKenWeb @TheKenWeb Great insight, The Ken.

Meesho’s Valmo story shows the real pain of scaling in-house logistics at Bharat speed festive surge turned cost-first ambition into heavy losses and margin pressure.

But this is exactly where Indian startups shine.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

These delays are painful reminders of old inefficiencies.

But Indian startups are built for this co-building fintech and HRtech solutions that make PF transfers instant, compliance paperless, and government services truly digital and seamless.

This is our moment for stubborn Atmanirbhar innovation that puts citizens first.

What solutions do you see startups creating here?
#IndianStartups

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

Banks scaling fast on digital rails is impressive. But the real opportunity for Bharat lies ahead.

Indian startups will co-build the next layer of smarter fintech, deeptech engines, and stubborn Atmanirbhar innovations that go beyond IT and banking.

India’s identity is evolving into the startup engine that powers both.

#IndianStartups

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

PM Modiji’s call to bring back WFH, postpone gold purchases for a year, and push Swadeshi has me reflecting.

After meeting 1,500+ founders, one thing is clear: Indian startups turn challenges into opportunities with stubbornness.

Time to co-build real solutions: smarter remote tools, forex-smart innovations & true Made-in-India products.
What opportunity do you see for your startup?

Let’s discuss.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

@warikoo The biggest asset founders build is rarely the company itself.

It is the ability to start again with better judgment, stronger conviction, and deeper resilience.

That compounds far longer than valuation cycles.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

@TheKenWeb @Singh10Seema Experience helps improve systems.
Young minds challenge systems.

Countries that become innovation leaders learn how to combine both.

India’s real opportunity is not choosing between age and youth, but creating an ecosystem where new ideas can be tested without fear.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

@AnupamMittal True @AnupamMittal!

We’re seeing top DeepTech talent return from the Middle East. India now gives both big opportunities AND real life.

Life > lifestyle

Next unicorns are being built right here at home 🇮🇳

Who else feels this shift?

#IndianStartups #DeepTech

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

@aviralbhat Spot on!

Space tech is finally stepping out of India’s startup shadows. Skyroot’s unicorn milestone and the key launches from GalaxEye, Agnikul & Pixxel capture that perfect “slowly, then all at once” moment.

Exciting momentum for deeptech in the ecosystem.

[Rakesh Sidana @rakeshsidana]

@TheKenWeb Excellent thread.

Jio BlackRock opening up to distributors while Zerodha remains the last pure direct-only AMC is a fascinating case study on strategic choices in Indian wealthtech.

Valuable lessons for every founder navigating growth and scale.

Curious what the ecosystem thinks 👇
