The startup incubator that refuses to rush

India’s startup ecosystem has become accustomed to celebrating speed. Founders race to launch products, raise venture capital and chase billion-dollar valuations. But some of the country’s most ambitious technology companies have followed a very different path. Bellatrix Aerospace spent years perfecting satellite propulsion systems before finding commercial success. Digantara built an entirely new market around tracking objects in space. Agnit Semiconductors is commercialising technology born out of 15 years of university research, while biotech startup Azooka Labs needed six years before its first products reached the market.
