From Startup Policy Forum launches DeepVerse to accelerate deeptech in India

How could DeepVerse's focus on policy dialogue affect the Government of India?

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

DeepVerse platform may influence government policy on India's deeptech sector DeepVerse, the Centre for DeepTech Innovation, is a multi-stakeholder platform launched to accelerate India's deeptech ecosystem. It is designed to bring together startups, investors, academia, and government stakeholders to facilitate policy dialogue and research. The platform aims to give deeptech founders a sustained voice in shaping India's deeptech policy, addressing the need for rules that founders and investors can plan around. This input, guided by an 18-member Advisory Board, could influence the regulatory and strategic direction of the Government of India regarding the ten focus sub-sectors, including semiconductors and quantum tech.

Why it matters

The Government of India is responsible for setting the regulatory and strategic framework for the nation's technological growth. Deeptech is viewed as a critical area for India's future economic competitiveness, requiring policy that can keep pace with rapid technological development.

DeepVerse represents a formal institutionalization of multi-stakeholder input into this policy process. By providing a permanent home for dialogue between industry and government, it could influence how the Government of India addresses issues like access to capital, talent, and global expansion for deeptech startups.

What we don't know yet

  • How actively will the Government of India engage with the policy recommendations generated by DeepVerse?
  • Will the platform's focus on ten specific deeptech sub-sectors lead to targeted regulatory changes?

What would change this answer

A government official publicly endorses DeepVerse's policy recommendationsThis would increase the likelihood of the platform having a direct and strong influence on regulatory changes.
The platform fails to secure sustained participation from key government stakeholdersThe influence of DeepVerse on the Government of India's policy decisions would likely remain limited.
