THE OPPORTUNITY
Research institutions, and now the capital to match
Bengal hosts the Indian Statistical Institute, IIT Kharagpur, IISER Kolkata and a dense network of research institutions — a concentration of statistical, mathematical and computer science capability that predates the AI moment by decades. What has been missing is the commercialisation layer. Three innovation hubs now provide lab access, seed capital and industry linkage for deep-tech ventures.
