14 Days to 100 Days, 25 Kg to 350 Kg, One Moon to a Space Station: Inside India's Great Space Acceleration

In August 2023, a four-legged lander named Vikram touched down on the lunar surface near the Moon's south pole, and India became the fourth nation in history to achieve a soft landing on another world. The mission was designed to last 14 days. The rover it carried weighed 25 kilograms. When the sun set on the lunar plain, the lander went to sleep, as planned, and did not wake up. It was, by any measure, a triumph—a demonstration of technological capability that had eluded far wealthier nations and that announced India's arrival as a serious space power.

The ₹30 Million Bet That a 33-Year-Old Hyderabad Semiconductor Unit Can Be Worth Half a Billion Dollars: Inside Cyient's Quiet Chip Gambit

The ₹30 Million Bet That a 33-Year-Old Hyderabad Semiconductor Unit Can Be Worth Half a Billion Dollars: Inside Cyient's Quiet Chip Gambit

For most of its history, Cyient was known as an engineering services company — the kind of firm that helps global aerospace and defence giants design their products, manage their supply chains, and maintain their digital infrastructure. It was a solid, profitable, deeply unglamorous business, the kind that generates steady returns and zero headlines. Then, in the spring of 2026, it did something that no Indian engineering services company had ever done: it spun out its semiconductor division as a standalone entity, raised $30 million from Edelweiss Alternatives at a $500 million valuation, and signalled — quietly but unmistakably — that India's chip design ecosystem is no longer a side business. It is a sovereign asset.

The Venture Capital Renaissance: Heavy Concentration and Strategic Intents Shape Tech Funding

The global venture capital landscape is witnessing a massive revival, driven by an intense concentration of capital into foundational AI, deep-tech infrastructure, and resilient regional marketplaces. Data shows that Indian startups alone have secured upwards of $12 billion in the opening months of the year, punctuated by rapid early-stage momentum in agentic AI platforms and specialized consumer brands. Concurrently, international private markets are breaking records with massive multi-million dollar megadeals, signaling a market that rewards deep technological moats, structural profitability, and clear enterprise-workflow integration over speculative growth.
