India’s technology landscape is being shaped by a new generation of entrepreneurs who are building companies across artificial intelligence, quick commerce, space technology and agricultural technology.
Some began experimenting with technology while still teenagers. Others turned engineering backgrounds into ambitious startups tackling problems at enormous scale.
From Dhravya Shah’s AI infrastructure company to Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra’s Zepto.
At just 19, Mumbai born entrepreneur Dhravya Shah has built Supermemory, an AI infrastructure company focused on giving AI systems better access to persistent memory and context.
Shah began building software projects at a young age and says he had already built and sold two companies by the time he was 17. He later started Supermemory as a side project before leaving university to work on it full time.
In 2026, Supermemory raised $3 million in funding.
Aadit Palicha and Kaivalya Vohra founded Zepto in 2021, becoming some of India's most recognizable young technology entrepreneurs.
Their company helped popularize quick commerce, using a network of local fulfilment centres to deliver groceries and everyday products rapidly to customers.
The founders were both in their early twenties when Zepto began scaling. In 2025, Vohra topped the Avendus Wealth Hurun India Under 30 Entrepreneurs list, with Palicha also recognized alongside him.
Pawan Kumar Chandana represents another side of India's technology revolution: private space exploration.
A former ISRO scientist, Chandana co founded Skyroot Aerospace with Naga Bharath Daka in 2018. The Hyderabad based company is developing privately built launch vehicles designed to make access to space more accessible.
Skyroot's Vikram S became India's first privately developed rocket to be launched into space in 2022, marking a major milestone for India's emerging private space sector.
Technology is also transforming one of India's oldest industries: agriculture.
Shashank Kumar, co founder and CEO of DeHaat, helped build a technology driven agricultural platform connecting farmers with products, advisory services, financial support and markets.
DeHaat now operates across 12 or more agricultural states, with more than 14,000 DeHaat Centres and a network of over 500 farmer producer organizations, according to the company.
These stories represent very different areas of India's technology ecosystem.
