With Indian companies building cutting-edge computing infrastructure, this decade is set to be defined by deep-tech and manufacturing-led enterprises, said a 360 One official on Friday.
“This decade, I believe, will be defined by how these deep-tech, IP-rich, and manufacturing-driven companies solve real-world problems—not just for India, but for the global market,” said Chetan Naik, Partner, 360 One.
“I would say India has become significantly important in the global manufacturing landscape—especially across electronics, engineering, and distance manufacturing. While we've traditionally been a domestic consumption-driven economy, the journey ahead is about transitioning from being net importers to net exporters,” added Naik.
He named Indian companies that are using IoT and because of which their entire supply chain is optimised.
He highlighted the growth of companies like Prodo and Country Delight that are leveraging technology and enabling real-time audits of the supply chain, monitor finished goods and inventory, and build quality tracking mechanisms.
“There are also companies in India building cutting-edge computing infrastructure—essentially the backbone for AI and deep learning. These companies are enabling high-performance computation for large-scale ML models, contributing to global advancements in AI and supercomputing,” mentioned Naik.
He highlighted that by using technology they are able to connect large manufacturers with a distributed supplier base—small units that can support long-tail manufacturing needs.
“With IoT, you can enable real-time audits of the supply chain, monitor finished goods and inventory, and build quality tracking mechanisms. All this creates a more reliable and scalable ecosystem—not just for India, but for global value creation,” he added.
According to NASSCOM's 'India's DeepTech Dawn: Forging Ahead' report, India is ranked as the third-largest start-up ecosystem, while DeepTech stands at the 6th position at a global level.
