I interviewed Vinod Shankar, founder of Java Capital, to understand why there's been a surge in deep tech entrepreneurs in India! Vinod predicts a shift from software to research-oriented businesses driving India's economic growth. He explains the background behind launching a venture capital firm focused on deep tech, reasons for the rise of research-oriented businesses in India, and why they are crucial for the country's economic growth. He also discusses how to become a successful entrepreneur with a PhD, how to identify promising PhD entrepreneurs in India, biases against research and development, impressions of Japan from an Indian perspective, future trends in Indian entrepreneurship and economy, and strategies for investing, starting up, and expanding businesses in India.
