Indian Investment Firms Increase Focus on Deeptech Amid Growing Funding
Indian investment firms Larsen & Toubro's Innovation Fund and Gaja Capital are increasing focus on the country's deeptech sector, including AI, quantum computing, defence, and intelligent manufacturing. Both note growing investor interest and government support for indigenous technologies. While deal volumes have decreased since 2025, funding values have risen, reflecting larger investments in fewer startups. These developments indicate maturing opportunities in India's innovation ecosystem, attracting more selective and substantial capital from corporate venture and private equity funds.
