BYT Capital Launches ₹180-Core Deep-Tech Fund

BYT Capital, a company started by Amit Chand, has created a big fund of ₹180 crore to help new startups in India that work on really smart and advanced technologies, especially in hardware.

They plan to invest in 18 to 20 startups over the next four years, giving them money to grow from the very beginning stages.

Most of the money, about 80-85%, will go to hardware startups because BYT Capital believes this is very important for India's growth.

They are also interested in other areas like space technology, robotics, life sciences, and clean energy.

BYT Capital wants to keep supporting the best startups with more money later on, so they can grow bigger and be successful.

They think that investing in these advanced technologies is not just a need but a priority for investors now.

Meanwhile, spacetech startups are also looking to scale up in 2026, focusing on revenue maturity, long-term contracts, and market expansion.

The government has been supportive with initiatives like IN-SPACe’s Rs 500-crore Technology Adoption Fund, and there is a growing global demand for earth observation and space-enabled intelligence.

Funding for spacetech startups has been increasing, with $152 million raised in 2025, more than doubling from $68.9 million in 2024.
