India's deep tech startup sector has raised $4.7 billion since 2014, representing only 3.2% of the country's total startup funding, highlighting a funding crunch in the sector. Challenges facing India's deep tech industry include systemic issues, policy gaps, and a credibility crisis that have hindered growth and innovation. Experts note that deep tech product innovation requires substantial capital, a high risk appetite, and a skilled technology talent pool, all of which India currently lacks. This situation contrasts with broader startup funding trends in Asia, where countries such as South Korea, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, and Japan have seen significant investments in their top-funded tech companies over the past decade. India's fintech and climatetech sectors also face challenges, with climatetech particularly impacted by systemic and policy shortcomings.
