Ganesh Sathyamurthy, Partner at a99 VC, was part of a panel discussion at the 2nd Edition of the MahaMSMErashtra Empowerment Summit 2026, organized by the @ASSOCHAM4India (The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India) Maharashtra State Council. The summit brought together policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, financial institutions, and investors to discuss the future of India's MSME ecosystem across manufacturing, innovation, exports, technology adoption, and access to capital. The discussion highlighted the opportunities and challenges facing MSMEs as they scale, innovate, and build globally competitive businesses from India. Thank you to ASSOCHAM and fellow panelists for an engaging exchange of perspectives on powering India's next wave of manufacturing, innovation, and exports. #MSME #Manufacturing #Innovation #Exports #VentureCapital #StartupEcosystem #IndiaGrowth

India's capital goods output just grew 16% in a single month. That's factories being built, machines being ordered, production lines being commissioned. India's industrial decade isn't coming. It's here. ๐Ÿงต #Manufacturing #MakeinIndia #India

What this creates (5/5) A capital goods supercycle in India creates a specific kind of opportunity. Not the companies selling to consumers. The companies making the cranes, engines, switchgear, and transformers that other manufacturers need to operate. The picks and shovels of India's industrial expansion. That market is just starting to be taken seriously.

The most important takeaway (6/7) The US increasingly sees India not just as a market, but as a strategic manufacturing and supply chain partner for the next industrial era. That changes capital flows, policy support and long-term industrial alignment.

(7/7) Manufacturing, materials and industrial deep-tech are becoming investable in a way they werenโ€™t 10 years ago. We're watching this closely and backing the founders building for this inflection. If you're building in this space, we'd love to hear from you. #CriticalMinerals #MakeInIndia #Manufacturing #DeepTech

India's electronics manufacturing is scaling fast.โšก But the soldering, welding, and precision assembly at the heart of it is still heavily dependent on imported automation equipment. Productronica India 2026 just made that gap impossible to ignore. ๐Ÿงต #manufacturing #Industrials #india

(5/5) Productronica India filling up with foreign automation vendors is a market signal. The factories are coming. The automation equipment should be made here too.
