We don’t need a Shenzhen moment.
We need a few hundred factories that keep their word.
We say 10 days. It takes 30, 40, 50.
90% of what India loses comes down to one thing: delay.
So we started fixing it.
My story and what we’re building at @ProcurioIndia, brilliantly written by @dikshayadav_ for @SwarajyaMag 👇
Honoured to have served on the jury for TANSEED 8.0, organised by StartupTN, Government of Tamil Nadu.
It was inspiring to hear from founders building across such a wide range of sectors. The quality of ideas and the ambition in the room reflect how far Tamil Nadu's startup ecosystem has come.
As a founder myself, I know what it takes to stand up and pitch, and I was glad to be on the other side of the table for this one. Thank you to the StartupTN team for the invitation and for running such a well-organised process.
It was also a pleasure to meet Thiru. @SingaiGR, the newly appointed Chairperson of TANSIM. Congratulations on the new role, sir. I look forward to the momentum ahead for founders across the state.
One of the worst places to manufacture engineering parts is India.
One of the best places to manufacture engineering parts is India.
Both are true.
Being in the global supply chain, I don't want to get everything manufactured in India.
We primarily work with US, UK, Europe & Canada companies that are into global sourcing.
They often ask, "Can you get this manufactured in India?"
I have a hard filter on those requests.
If it is something that requires very high volume with an integrated facility, I straight away say NO.
China is the best at it.
If it is about high precision, high mix and export standards, we first do a feasibility study in a few days, and then we communicate with the manufacturer whether we can do it or not.
But in those, India is unbeatable in the international market. No other country can match it.
It should always be the right man for the right job.
Manufacturing from India will be a supply chain strategy for global enterprises for the next few decades.
Startup founders constantly act like they have no time.
They wear being overwhelmed as a badge of honor.
Meanwhile, leaders at large companies are accessible.
They actually make time for calls.
Got featured in .@EconomicTimes
Glad someone covered this story.
This positive gesture by the government deserves to reach crores of Indians.
Surprised no other media picked it up.
We're raising our pre-series round
Almost done, looking for few more angels to be in the cap table.
Any good connects?
I received an invite from the Ministry of Finance, and I thought it was spam.
I looked into the email after 15 mins
It said, "Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) of India wants to talk with you"
I still couldn't get it
There was a landline number mentioned in the email. I called up and asked if this was a conference or something I was being invited to.
They said the CEA wants to talk personally and hear the story. And could I come to Delhi.
I said yes. He also wanted all the economists in his office to be part of it.
This is the team that puts together the Economic Survey and the country's economic policies every year.
I flew to Delhi and met the CEA and his team.
I shared my journey into deep-tech, drone policies and Indian manufacturing, in the context of my previous drone startup Airdonex and my current startup @ProcurioIndia
They listened carefully to every challenge we have run into, and were genuinely interested in what founders need from policy.
We concluded with explaining what we are building at PROCURIO, that we are on a mission to set a new benchmark for how anyone can source and manufacture from India.
Middle-class borrowers use their CIBIL score to prove they can repay a loan from their future salary.
Wealthy individuals borrow against what they already own.
If someone wants a ₹10 crore loan and pledges ₹50 crore in stocks, real estate, or business equity as collateral, the bank has zero risk.
The CIBIL score is meaningless for the "Wealthy"

.@deepigoyal moved .@temple from India to the US.
Temple Private Limited is now Temple Wearables Inc.
Why?
There are certain companies I personally know are doing this in Tamil Nadu.
Impact of Atal Innovation Mission.
India is doing it
It’s just that we not covering much on the social media.
I was a drone educator in many government schools during my college days.
1st post on every refresh in Linkedin feed is a funding announcement.
Are we stopping to value impact, revenue, profits?

It took 7 years for me to realise this.
When I started my career, all I wanted was money, fame, and recognition.
But beyond a point, this doesn't make me happy. It gets saturated.
I looked back at my patterns to figure out the one thing that I’d keep on doing even if I wasn't getting paid or recognised.
I love building something from scratch, or with the frugal resources I have.
It struck me: all the experts out there are leaders/experts because they do their profession extremely well, simply for the love and joy of doing it.
Many of my mentors told me this, but I couldn’t take it seriously until I realised it on my own.
Thanks @svembu for writing this.
Would love to meet you someday!
Ask a farmer who made a choice to be in farming and they would tell you it is their love of farming. They would never mention money and in fact, farmers reluctantly abandon farming when they can no longer afford it.
Doctor's own professional and ethical code requires them to put the patient first and people who become doctors for money are not respected by other doctors.
No one ever becomes a teacher because the money is good. And no one ever trains to be a priest for the money.
Economic models would consider all of that behaviour irrational. Yet without that deeply evolved character trait in humanity, civilization itself would collapse.
When I say people like me in business should support these noble professions, I must be an anti-capitalist - say people who haven't earned a single rupee of honest profit and don't know what "capital" even means (no it is not a line item in a spreadsheet)!
Let me explain
Think of a chip like a giant city with billions of tiny light switches called transistors.
Going from 7nm to 3nm means packing almost double the switches into the same space.
At 3nm, the parts are only a few atoms wide.
At this size, electricity starts leaking through solid walls.
Engineers had to invent a completely new 3D switch design to stop it.
Etching features that small requires giant laser machines that cost $200 million each and use mirrors polished down to atomic smoothness.
A single speck of dust or a mistake the width of one atom ruins the whole batch, taking years of trial and error to make reliable.
India is bullish to making this happen.
