Is India too poor to invest in research?

Before answering that, I must share with you a note on history, that hasn't been kind to us.

SCL Mohali, established by the Indira Gandhi government, was India's first semiconductor facility.

It was established 4 years before TSMC.

In 1984, India was producing 5 micron chips. Rumours suggest that SCL was closing in on 0.8 micron chips (Remember, the smaller, the better) by the late 80s.

Until a mysterious fire destroyed everything. Equipment worth $34 million (or $87 million today) went up in flames.

Around the same time, Taiwan started exporting 3 micron chips.

We were trying. Because the public sector was bloated, because the average Indian needed government subsidies to afford a life worth living.

Then, suddenly, Iraq invaded Kuwait, causing a spike in oil prices. And Soviet Union, India's largest trading partner then, collapsed. For an import oil dependent nation, this was terrible news.

With barely 3 weeks worth of survival money left, the Indian government panicked. World Bank and IMF offered a loan, that came with strings attached. Leading to the liberalisation of 1991.

Subsiding your poor citizens lives, affording them dignity, came at the cost of a weak private sector. Liberalisation exaggerated this problem as global companies rushed to loot the newly opened Indian markets.

Weak IP and Patent laws didn't help us either.

First it was the british, then the americans, then the chinese. We've been plundered for centuries.

We were never poor. We were just plundered. Again and again. I don't mean to sound political, I am just reciting history.

As global trade collapses, thanks to the Iran War, we are being forced to rethink, who are we and what do we stand for?

In the new world order, research is the only MOAT. Thankfully, we are getting there. We are getting there folks.

When you meet someone for the first time,
a woman talks about her past and a man talks about his future.

Kyuki ek aurat ki zindagi, unke dhanche tak, aur ek aadmi ki uski kabiliyat tak, reh jaati hai.

but .vecros treated the world like her oyster.

Amidst her investor meetings i got to spend time with my friend from X.

Her journey changed my perspective, at the turn of every conversation we had.

From Nandura, Maharashtra. Rajeshree didn't know IITs existed until 11th grade.

On an afternoon in Akola, 70km from home, sitting in a CET crash course, she realised that this wasn't the one that helped crack JEE.

There wasn't enough money to send her to the US for her internship. So Professor Sheetal of NIT Nagpur, put her personal cash to ensure her flight was booked.

That money didn't go to waste, because she came back.

There are no villains in her story. Because that's not how you fight them.

The CTO of Vecros, Rajeshree, is a Loonshot. She was not supposed to be here, yet she is.

Her research in autonomy in hardware has led to her building India's first level-5 autonomy drones, alongside her wonderful team and co-founder Prem.

More on Vecros in the upcoming videos.

india ke paas paise ki kummi nahi hai. awareness ki hai.

BioCompute, Anagha's company, has raised over 5 crores over the last 2 years from: WTF fund, Grad Capital, 1517 Fund and more.

If I wrote about all the awards that she has won in the last two years, I would miss the point.

The point is: she is leaving. For two reasons:

1. Capital
2. Talent

In one of the many conversations i have had with her, this one stuck with me:

"There are Indians in the US who I know I will be hiring. They don't want to raise their kids there. They want to come home."

So this isn't about talent either. It's about money. If there's capital for people like Anagha, starting with Anagha, the dam will break.

Bring our men and women home. Spread the word. If you're a VC interested in being part of BioCompute's Seed round, email me: [email protected] or check the link in bio.

And by the way, this isn't a last ditch effort to help Anagha raise her Seed round. She has commitments in SF. that's quite literally why she is moving there.

This is a small attempt to keep bleeding edge DNA storage technology within Indian borders. I believe in Anagha.

"A loonshot is something nobody has dared to do before. A goal so ambitious that you don’t even know if its possible. Landing on the moon was a loonshot, building reusable rockets was a loonshot, fusion is a loonshot. More commonly referred to as moonshots, I prefer the term loonshot because it highlights the necessary stupidity a bit better."

i think for the longest i complicated what i wanted to do. i am 23 now. i know one thing, which is to tell stories.

so a few months i asked myself: how do i maximise my impact?

simple, talk about things people don't want to hear about but they need to.

i have spent the last few weeks meeting founders from across india, who are building on research. least to say i have goosebumps as i write this, but god we are headed somewhere. and we don't talk enough about it.

let's talk about it.
