Four ways India's robotics startups can win

from India Tech Report · host Hari Arakali

In any field, and especially in deep tech, India's startups don't get the type of funding that Silicon Valley ventures command. In fact even a modest Series A fund raise takes a long time and represents a solid achievement for Indian startups.Therefore how can they make a dent, globally, in a field like robotics that is extremely hardware intensive and integrating the physical robot and its "intelligence" is a daunting task. Especially for any entrepreneurs looking to build humanoids.In a recent conversation with me, Arjun Dutt, a partner at Bain & Company, and a former tech entrepreneur himself, offered his views on what and how Indian robotics startups can do to strategically position themselves.You can find the full conversation via the related post link below. Here's two minutes on the four priorities that Arjun suggests: "going narrow," taking hybrid approaches to the form factor, building partnerships, and offering the best technical solutions to specific layers of the tech stack that currently are universal pain points that everyone in the field is dealing with.
