In this episode of SparX, Mukesh Bansal takes a hard look at the state of India’s deep tech ecosystem. While the world races ahead with AI, semiconductors, and frontier science, India is at a crossroads: will we be creators of technology, or just consumers?

Mukesh argues that true deep tech is only possible when rooted in deep science, a culture of research, curiosity, and discovery. He unpacks why India risks being left behind if we don’t invest in science the way the US, Europe, and China have, and what it will take for India to build original IP, Nobel-worthy science, and globally competitive deep tech companies.

He explores:

Why India’s dependence on foreign tech poses a strategic risk.

The looming threats to IT services and startup ecosystems.

How India can move from “Make in India” to “Discover in India, Invent in India, then Make in India.”

Lessons from history: how breakthroughs in physics, AI, and the internet all started with curiosity-driven science.

What it will take for India to aspire to Nobel Prizes, original IP, and world-class innovation.

This is not just about technology, it's about India’s future. If you care about Viksit Bharat, scientific ambition, and the next wave of innovation, this video is a must-watch.
