Joined a fireside chat with @SharmaShradha at the 17th edition of @YourStoryCo’s TechSparks to discuss Karnataka’s new tech-state playbook.
Spoke about how Karnataka is helping shape the new tech order, backed by a strong foundation built over decades across skills, research, Centres of Excellence, patient capital through programmes like ELEVATE and progressive policy support.
The next phase is to actively connect innovation to markets through programmes like Government First, where startups can find their first customer in government and our Global Innovation Alliance, which opens pathways to global ecosystems.
The new tech order we are building is one where frontier technology is built, scaled, tested on real public problems and deployed responsibly from Karnataka to the world.

Karnataka's Innoverse has identified seven growth-stage startups as the first cohort of its DeepTech Enabler programme, covering aerospace & defence, SpaceTech, BioTech, ESDM & AI.
The initiative aims to help startups overcome challenges in commercial scaling, including market access, capital, infrastructure & regulatory support.
7 startups are AquaAirX, Fibroheal Woundcare, Hyspace Technologies (SkyServe), OptM Media Solutions, SpaceFields, UNMANND Autonomy & Yaanendriya.
9-month programme will run until June 2027. Innoverse aims to double the cohort’s combined annual revenue from about ₹35 crore to ₹70 crore & mobilise growth capital from ₹150 crore to over ₹300 crore.

Karnataka has built a first-of-its-kind DeepTech scale-up platform in the country through INNOVERSE, focused squarely on helping proven startups become globally competitive companies.
INNOVERSE is designed for the stage where technology works, customers exist, but scaling still demands the right mix of capital, infrastructure, markets, policy support and anchor customers.
Through dedicated programmes including the DeepTech Enabler and Innoverse Connect, we are creating structured pathways for companies at different stages of growth.
The first DeepTech Enabler cohort brings together 7 startups across 5 priority sectors, with a nine-month engagement focused on commercial scale. The ambition is to double combined revenues from about ₹35 crore to ₹70 crore and mobilise growth capital from around ₹150 crore to over ₹300 crore.
The goal is to help Karnataka’s best DeepTech companies cross the third Valley of Death and build enduring global businesses from here.

Our Odisha AI community member and SpaceFields startup founder Apurwa Masook made us proud.
From 26651 applicants, SpaceFields found itself among the top 5 of Vande Bharatam, what has become Bharat's largest grassroots innovation movement.
SpaceFields custom design and build next generation dual use mission critical solid propulsion technologies for national security and commercial spaceflight.
SpaceFields is supported by Govt of India, Govt of Karnataka, Govt of Odisha and incubated at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru.
Glad to see Apurwa pitched to Gautam Adani ji himself at the Grand Finale and grabbed much deserved funds as well.
We should felt proud for @ak_panda bhai for connecting the dots and making a solid community for Odisha and deep tech
Odisha deserves more such heroes, we need to celebrate these moments, we need to take motivation from these and build something stronger for our nation, Odisha and for world.
Congratulations to the whole team of SpaceFields and Apurwa, sky is your limit keep shining.

From building advanced propulsion technology in Bharat to taking on challenges at the frontier of aerospace and defence, SpaceFields secures Fifth Place at the Vande Bharatam Grand Finale.
Their Vande Bharatam journey has opened doors to Vande Wings mentorship and potential collaboration with Adani Defence, creating opportunities to take their homegrown technology further.
A Top 5 finish today. A much bigger mission for tomorrow. 🇮🇳

Spacefields is one #Startup I am watching very closely. From raw but enthusiastic youngsters just a few years back, they are becoming seasoned experts in propellants (still young & enthusiastic though 😆). Great going @AMasook & team @Space_Fields

When India started privatization of the space sector, it was like convergence.

Another successful space tech startup that started its journey from Odisha.
From a college project at VSSUT Burla to a $6.4 million-funded space-tech startup.
Meet “SpaceFields” - an Odisha-born startup that is also recognised under Startup Odisha.
In 2016, three students from VSSUT Burla - Apurwa Masook, Sudarshan Samal and Rounak Agrawal - built a small satellite(CanSat) and a rocket to study the water and sediment at Hirakud Dam.
They went on to found SpaceFields in 2021.
Today, the IISc-incubated deeptech startup develops advanced solid rocket propulsion systems, including Aerospike engines, for space and defence applications.
Its ambition: to build next-generation propulsion systems and become a major player in India’s space and defence ecosystem.
From Hirakud to rocket propulsion - Odisha is reaching for space.

Professors Duvvuri Subrahmanyam (@mangaloreman) & Pratikash Panda at IISc Bengaluru are doing some seriously cutting-edge work in high-speed flight.
It is exciting science, with a forward-looking vision for building India’s aerospace capabilities. And that’s about as much as I’m willing to reveal!
But something else about them deserves to be shouted from the rooftops.
After stints at institutions such as Caltech, Princeton, Purdue, and Sandia Labs, they chose to come home and build here.
That tells us something about the calibre of researchers India is now attracting back and about the world-class deep-tech ecosystem taking shape on our own soil.
One of the most encouraging signs for India’s future is seeing exceptional researchers choose India not out of obligation, but out of ambition.
The future isn’t on its way.
It’s already being built.
Quietly, boldly, and right here at home.
