An anonymised look at live deal flow across the chapter. You see the sector, the thesis and the traction - members see company names, founders, full due-diligence notes and the live data room, and vote at the forum.
Two deep tech companies pitch in person, each for 30 minutes including questions from the room.
A modular 20 MWe thorium-fuelled molten-salt reactor built to supply steady power to AI data centres, industrial plants and defence sites, with passive safety mechanisms and a target cost of about ₹4 per kWh. In early engineering and validation, with reactor testing and regulatory engagement next. Revenue planned from reactor sales, refuelling, medical isotopes and process heat.
Cryostats, low-temperature platforms and dilution refrigerators for quantum computing and research labs, replacing costly imported equipment with long lead times. A prototype validated with an Indian research institution has reached about 1.45 K, with an institutional pipeline and letters of intent from Indian and international universities. Projects about ₹30.5 crore of cumulative revenue over three years.

The chapter is working on deals across MedTech and eldercare, clean materials, nuclear and quantum deep tech, EV and mobility, assistive technology and industrial IoT - one open for commitment, two presenting on 14 November, three presented on 3 October with members deciding, one round closing, and the rest in post-forum diligence or mentoring. The board also records recent outcomes: one company our members took to pre-forum stage was acquired, and one that cleared full diligence was funded in full by a climate fund. The full board shows each one's sector, stage and headline traction; names, due-diligence notes and the live data room are reserved for members.
