From Startup Policy Forum launches DeepVerse to accelerate deeptech in India

How could DeepVerse's focus on ten deeptech sub-sectors affect Biotech?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

DeepVerse's focus on biotech may boost investment and policy support DeepVerse, launched by the Startup Policy Forum, is a multi-stakeholder platform designed to accelerate India's deeptech ecosystem through collaboration, policy dialogue, and research. Since Biotech is one of the ten focus sub-sectors of the Centre, it gains a dedicated channel for ecosystem support. This structure, which includes ten leading VC firms and government stakeholders, could lead to increased investment and market opportunities for Biotech companies.

Why it matters

For Biotech companies, access to capital and favorable policy is critical for long-term growth. By dedicating a focus sub-sector and bringing together ten leading VC firms, DeepVerse provides a structured mechanism to increase visibility and access to investment for the sector.

This launch is part of a broader national effort to institutionalize the voice of deeptech founders in policymaking. The platform builds on previous initiatives developed with MeitY Startup Hub, Startup India (DPIIT), and IIT Madras, signaling a sustained governmental and private sector interest in strengthening India's high-tech industrial base.
