Venture capital firm Chiratae Ventures has introduced Sonic DeepTech, a fast-track capital deployment program aimed at supporting early-stage founders working in deep technology and frontier innovation. The initiative will invest from seed to Series A, offering cheque sizes of up to $2 million per company, with a priority on rapid decision-making.
48-Hour Investment Turnaround
One of Sonic DeepTech’s core differentiators is speed. Chiratae said the program aims to compress the time between evaluation and investment, targeting a funding decision within 48 hours, enabling deeptech founders to progress more efficiently from prototype to product-market fit. In addition to capital, startups will gain access to Chiratae’s domain experts, strategic partners, and industrial networks, designed to accelerate commercial deployment.
Focus on High-Impact Deep Technology Sectors
The Sonic DeepTech initiative will focus on climate and energy, quantum computing, robotics and advanced manufacturing, space technologies, applied AI and ML, defence, biotech and medical devices, and digital economy platforms. These sectors represent India’s next wave of infrastructure-grade innovation, with founders commonly facing longer gestation cycles and higher capital intensity.
