Indian Deeptech founders landed in New York with four things to build: capital access, customer conversations, partnerships, and university collaborations.
Nasscom began with a curtain raiser at the Consulate General of India in New York, where each participating Deeptech startup presented its solution directly to investors, enterprise CXOs, and ecosystem partners.
Ambassador Binaya S. Pradhan, Consul General of India in New York, welcomed the delegation and told the founders they had arrived in the US at the right time. He spoke about those four routes and about the widening scope for India and US cooperation in frontier technologies.
Ravi Kuchibhotla, Chief Strategy Officer at Cognizant, spoke on partnering and co-innovating with fast-scaling startups. Wesley Mathews, Vice President of State Governmental Affairs at PSEG, and Kavita Doshi, Senior Director, Communications at Nasscom, closed the evening in conversation on cross-border talent mobility and sustainable data centers.
Thank you to the Consulate General of India in New York and to the founders, investors, and leaders who joined the curtain raiser. The days ahead carry the rest of the program: technology exchange, cross-border growth, and partnerships.
