India

The firm’s largest single-market commitment.

India is broken out from Asia Pacific deliberately. It is the only market where GDA is building national infrastructure rather than operating a coverage team: the Center of Excellence opens in New Delhi in 2027, alongside the firm’s Mumbai office.

It is the fastest-growing major economy and the largest population on earth, producing roughly 1.5 million engineering graduates a year against a startup ecosystem valued above one trillion dollars. Every input for global innovation leadership is present. No unified system connects the talent to the capital, and that gap is what GDA is building into.

What the market brings

Scale without precedent

The largest engineering pipeline in the world, and a domestic market big enough that a company can reach global scale before it leaves.

Innovation at every layer

From frontier research to applied consumer technology, with an execution culture that ships against real constraints.

A structural gap

Talent, capital, and enterprise demand all exist in volume. No accountable infrastructure converts them into companies. That is the opportunity the Center of Excellence addresses.
