ABOUT THE SHOW

No Hype. Just Builders.

Indian deep-tech rarely gets the storytelling it deserves. We bring on the people actually doing the work — and ask the questions students and founders really want answered.

40+ episodes

A growing library across AI, drones, semiconductors, defence, and policy.

250K+ monthly listens

One of India's fastest-growing engineering and deep-tech podcasts.
