FRIGATE’s Post

When the spotlight often shines on speed, virality, and surface-level innovation, this is grounding. Wholesome, dependable, and absolutely necessary. It’s a movement rooted in something far more enduring: capability. The kind that strengthens our national backbone and redefines what “innovation from India” looks like. It’s inspiring to see ventures like FRIGATE not only imagine better systems but actually build them. Brick by brick, part by part. The pride here isn’t just in scale, but in substance. In showing the world that Indian manufacturing doesn’t need to play catch-up, it’s ready to lead. Thank you for doing the hard, critical work. The kind that doesn’t trend on reels but quietly powers the world. This is the India I want to bet on.

This is the kind of real talk the Indian startup ecosystem needs more of. Not everything scalable is valuable — and not everything valuable scales fast. Massive respect to what the team at FRIGATE is building — precision manufacturing, export-grade quality, Tier-2 empowerment. This is the silent engine India needs to unlock global leadership in hardware and deeptech. At MadVR Solutions Private Limited we’re on a parallel mission: transforming how surgeons are trained using high-fidelity, VR-based medical simulation. It’s not just about immersive tech — it’s about building confidence, competence, and global-grade medical talent from India. We’re not chasing virality. We’re chasing impact. And we’re not alone. India’s deeptech wave is rising. Back the builders. Back the ecosystem that’s quietly redefining what “Made in India” really means. #DeepTech #MakeInIndia #PrecisionManufacturing #MadVR #VRforHealthcare #MedicalSimulation #HardTech #IndiaStack #ExportFromIndia #Founders #Frigate #RealEngineering #GlobalFromIndia #LinkedInForStartups

While there may be legitimate anger in reacting to the comparison, which is partly not fair. We have huge potential and the need to do a lot. We are not doing enough. Instead of justifying, we should feel that we have to focus on technology based ventures. As someone reviewing pitches and attending competitions, I am not very happy with some of the same proposals appearing again and again, which are not revolutionary. Most of them are copies and superficial. And very disappointing. It is not about scale and unicorns alone. It is also about serious problems that require solutions relevant to our nation.

I think what he meant is we need more nation builders and not just businessmen. A fine balance between socialism and capitalism. As much as I appreciate the initiatives by folks like yourself who break out of the herd and set commendable examples, it does pain me a bit that your company page FRIGATE still says Dover, Delaware and not Coimbatore, India. There might be valid reasons for doing so, like legal, taxation, marketing and branding, but personally it still disappoints me that many Indian companies end up doing so. I hope that changes some day.

Congratulations to make reality export grade precision manufacturing Dr.Tamizh Inian. Times are changing !

Great Article . Adding one more excellent deep tech startup Bellatrix Aerospace.

,,,,,,Yes, We cannot scale faster like a food delivery app. It needs time, as real engineering is involved...... NAILED IT. Dr.Tamizh Inian

I love seeing stories like this...it’s proof that deeptech isn’t just talk, it’s action. The precision manufacturing focus is so underrated—it’s what quietly powers so many industries. Curious, what’s been the biggest challenge in scaling globally?

Dr.Tamizh Inian it's refreshing to see founders tackling manufacturing head-on. reminds me how real innovation often gets overlooked for what's flashy...building systems like this feels like the long game.
