Over the past few years, funding for DeepTech and climate tech startups has been a tiny percentage of the overall startup investments. Moreover, most of this funding has been in early-stage startups creating a gap in growth capital for companies looking to scale.

Less than 3% of India's startups have been able to reach beyond the funding stage according to a report by IIMA Ventures and Japan’s MUFG Bank released last year.

Deeptech is a term for advanced technologies rooted in scientific innovation, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, and clean energy.
