Biotech investments don't start with certainty. They start with an idea and a long gestation period. So how do you validate something that takes years to prove?
Hyderabad has become one of India's top IT investment destinations. But does its startup ecosystem match that reputation?
My latest story looks at the Hyderabad Startup Readiness Index 2026 — and the findings are worth a pause. The city is now home to 10,000+ startups, with $3
The average data breach costs "$4.5M globally".
In the US, it crosses "$9M".
Most of this doesn’t start with attackers.
It starts with identity.
For every employee today, there are 40–50 non-human identities - apps, bots, agents -interacting with systems and data. Access expands, permissions accumulate, and over time, no one can clearly answer: who has access to what and why?
Studies estimate "20–30% of accounts are orphaned" in large organisations.
In Episode 3 of Made with Endiya, we feature @zluri_hq - a company building for this exact shift: from fragmented access to continuous identity governance.
Because in a world of humans and agents, controlling identity isn’t optional. It is fundamental.

The Hyderabad Startup Readiness Survey 2026, conducted by Endiya Partners alongside the launch of the Hyderabad Innovation Report 2026, captures the ecosystem’s view on where the city stands today and what comes next.
The message is clear:
Hyderabad has built strong foundations through talent, infrastructure and institutional support.
The next phase will require stronger enablers:
→ Growth capital
→ Market access
→ Deeper collaboration across founders, investors, corporates and policymakers
As @sateesh_andra, Managing Director at Endiya Partners, shares:
“Hyderabad has built strong foundations. The next phase will depend on enabling companies to scale through deeper pools of capital, stronger market access and continued ecosystem collaboration.”
Also grateful to the ecosystem voices and publications that have carried forward this discussion.
The next decade of Hyderabad’s innovation story will be defined not just by building startups, but by building companies that scale globally.
While this report focuses on Hyderabad, the larger lesson extends beyond one city.
As startup ecosystems across India mature, the next challenge will be the same: creating the conditions for companies to move from innovation to scale and from local potential to global impact.

What changes when someone like @g_satheeshreddy , former Chairman, DRDO and Scientific Adviser to Raksha Mantri, spends time with two frontier engineering companies?
The level at which you are forced to think.
At @perceptyne , the discussion centred on its full-stack approach to robotics built in India. In-house actuators. Electro-mechanical subsystems. A portfolio of AI robots developed at its Hyderabad R&D facility.
At @BlujAero , the Gen 2 logistics eVTOL prototype flew during the visit. The conversation went deep into the technical details of the aircraft. The future of autonomous aviation. What regulators will question. What fails first. What certification actually demands.
When someone who has spent decades answering for systems at national scale engages, the questions become more demanding. The feedback becomes more valuable.
Backing deep-tech early goes beyond capital. It's about connecting founders with leaders whose experience can help accelerate their journey.

SaaSocalypse
SaaS isn't declining. The user is changing.
For years, software was built for humans. Logins, dashboards, seats. Value was measured by usage.
Now agents are becoming the primary users. They don't navigate software. They execute across it.
This shifts the unit of value from human usage to agent-driven outcomes.
SaaS doesn't disappear. It becomes infrastructure. Less visible, less interactive, more embedded.
What matters now: APIs over interfaces. Workflows over features. Control layers, meaning identity, access and governance.
The winners won't build better SaaS. They'll build the systems agents act through, and the systems that control them.
