India has the talent, technology and capital to build globally relevant deep-tech companies. But what is still stopping them from scaling? In this episode of Talk with Investors, Alok Patnia sits down with Manu Iyer, Co-founder & General Partner at Blue Hill VC, a frontier-tech fund investing in India’s deep-tech ecosystem. This is a candid conversation on what it really takes to turn India’s research, technology and capital into globally scalable companies — and where the ecosystem is still falling short. 👤 About Manu Iyer Manu is an IIT Madras electrical engineering graduate with an MBA from Duke University. He started his career in algorithmic trading before moving into deep tech angel investing in 2016, eventually syndicating deals before launching Blue Hill VC in 2024 — now a 400+ crore fund investing across defense, aerospace, space, semiconductors, engineering, industrial tech, biotech, and agri-tech. 🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode 🔹 Why India built technical talent but struggled to build ownership — How India’s deep technical talent base and global capability centres created a strong foundation, but the transition to IP-owning, technology-led companies remains a challenge. 🔹 Why technology sovereignty matters — The conversation explores India’s dependence on imported technology and components, and why semiconductors, defence technology and other critical technologies have become strategically important. 🔹 The government's role in deep tech — How government initiatives, semiconductor programmes, defence innovation programmes, research funding and other ecosystem support are creating new opportunities for deep-tech founders. 🔹 Why deep tech needs a different investment approach — Manu explains the longer journey from research and development to commercialisation, and why deep-tech funds may need to think differently about fund timelines and portfolio construction. 🔹 What is making deep tech more investable — Manu discusses the outcomes emerging from India's research and startup ecosystem and why visible successes are important for attracting more capital. 🔹 How investors should think about deep-tech risk — Why investing in a single startup can be risky, why portfolio construction matters, and why founders and investors should avoid making decisions based on FOMO. 🔹 When should a deep-tech founder raise VC? — Manu shares one of the most important messages of the conversation: founders should not take investor money until they genuinely need or want it, because institutional capital comes with accountability, reporting and governance responsibilities. 🔹 The next challenge: growth capital — Why Series B/C deep-tech companies can struggle to fit conventional growth-investor benchmarks, and what needs to change for these companies to scale.
