India Extends Startup Recognition For Deep Tech
9.2
Relevance Score
India recently overhauled its startup rules to formally recognize deep tech, extending startup status to as long as 20 years and raising revenue thresholds. The change complements a ₹1 trillion (about $11 billion) Research, Development and Innovation Fund and a $1 billion-plus investor alliance, aiming to boost patient capital for AI, semiconductors, biotech, and advanced manufacturing. The reforms offer a blueprint for Pakistan to better support long-horizon R&D and commercialization.
