0:02
and engineers help run platforms like X

Meta and LinkedIn however these
0:08
platforms are owned by the other
0:09
countries and not us and the world often
0:12
cheers louder for Western ideas than
0:15
ours what if one day due to political
0:18
shifts or sanctions our access to these
0:20
platforms are revoked india would be
0:24

Deep Sea created a killer AI for just 5
1:00
million bucks owning their tech startups
1:03
like Swiggy are cool but they are not
1:05

1:30
china's different wayback projects like
1:33
Deepseek AI to own their tech india's

1:39
and chipm that screams made in India and
1:42
competes worldwide starting a business
1:45
in India easier than before but
1:47
protecting ideas still tough years ago
1:51
weak laws hurt a startup called XU they
1:55
lost out because their tech wasn't safe
1:58
and even now while initiatives like UDIM
2:01
registration and the digital India
2:03

2:05
entrepreneurs struggle with approvals

that often take weeks

isro's moon mission was amazing but
3:15
super cheap compared to NASA china
3:18

3:22
building stuff like Deep Seek AI india's
3:26
got to pour way more into research to
3:29
create its own tech and not borrow
3:31
others
3:34
india is huge with 1.4 4 billion people
3:37

3:40
app for everyone china's WeChat works
3:43
for everyone startups like Deart Help
3:47
Farmers and Kissan Network connects farm
3:50
produce to markets but India needs more
3:52
apps that unite everyone from cities to
3:55
remote villages so the country isn't
3:57
dependent on foreign ones people in
4:00
India love playing it safe steady jobs
