Are we investing in the wrong direction? Should the Indian Government support or invest in Industry 4.0 fields like Hardtech, AI, Biotech, Robotics, etc? These fields drives innovation globally and builds a high skilled workforce Investing in them is crucial for positioning the country alongside developed nations that are shaping the global economy Yet, there is a major focus in fields like Bookings, Commerce & logistics, Consumer brands, Edtech, Payments and Gamblings? The primary reason is that these fields have demonstrated immediate scalability and profitability in a rapidly growing consumer economy While consumer-facing industries are important for short term economic growth, investing in futuristic technologies are crucial for long term sustainable development When this short-term wave settles, there will be an urgent need to shift towards Industry4.0 (ETA 2028) In what other fields do you believe we are receiving under-investments?

We’ve gotten too comfortable with the consumer economy—every VC pitch is about scalability, user acquisition, and profits within a year or two. But these models don’t push innovation forward; they’re just cash cows.

The Indian government isn’t putting enough money into research and development in AI, biotech, or robotics. We’re too obsessed with unicorns in e-commerce and fintech, but none of that will sustain us in the long run. If we don’t start focusing on these sectors soon, we’ll be playing catch-up when the world moves ahead.

India is focused on quick wins—e-commerce, payments, consumer brands—because they yield immediate returns. But you’re right, we’re missing the boat on deep tech, AI, robotics, and other Industry 4.0 fields. These are long-term plays, but without investing in them now, we risk falling behind in global innovation.
