landmark initiatives like the Government of India’s $12 billion Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) Scheme and the newly formed India Deep Tech Alliance (IDTA). The RDI Scheme represents the largest public research investment in Indian history, to provide growth & risk capital to sunrise and strategic sectors such as quantum computing, robotics and space (Press Information Bureau 2025). In parallel, the IDTA - an industry-led investor consortium backed by over $2 billion in commitments and strategic advisors such as NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and leading VCs - provides long-term capital, technical mentorship, and global networks to India’s deeptech startups, working closely with government to align on national innovation priorities (Salve, 2005).
