Atmanirbhar Bharat needs more than policy. It needs a different kind of capital

Policy can open doors, but it cannot replace company formation. If India wants self-reliance in strategic technologies, it needs institutions and capital models that match deep-tech reality.

Hardware, IP, prototyping, and manufacturing readiness do not move at software speed. The ecosystem has to stop forcing those businesses through the wrong milestones.

A different kind of capital is ultimately a different kind of belief about what India should build and what time horizons are worth backing.
