With India emerging as a global AI talent hub, Rajat Khare urges the nation to stop brain drain and build strong.
Venture capitalist and founder of Boundary Holding, Rajat Khare, has voiced a compelling argument on the critical need to address India’s ongoing brain drain—particularly within the technology and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors. According to Khare, this isn’t merely a matter of national pride or socio-economic concern; it’s a pivotal move that could determine whether India leads or lags in the global AI revolution.
“India possesses a rich pool of intellectual and technical talent,” Khare remarked in a recent feature published by Business Today. “But unless we create the right environment to retain and nurture this talent, we risk losing our lead in deep-tech sectors. We need to build ecosystems that keep our brightest minds engaged within the country.”
With decades of experience backing emerging technologies, Rajat Khare’s perspective is deeply rooted in real-world investments. His firm, Boundary Holding, headquartered in Luxembourg, focuses exclusively on high-impact, deep-tech innovations across Europe and Asia. Khare has strategically invested in a broad range of next-generation companies that are reshaping how industries operate globally.
These include:
AI-powered video inspection systems used in industrial and remote infrastructure monitoring
Autonomous drone and aerospace technologies developed for surveillance and logistics
Predictive maintenance platforms utilizing machine learning and IoT for operational efficiency
Advanced cybersecurity and surveillance systems powered by AI-driven analytics
These investments are not just speculative plays on future trends—they are grounded in solving immediate, high-stakes problems in sectors such as manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and public safety.
Khare believes that India already has the core ingredients—highly skilled engineers, a growing base of AI researchers, and a surge in startup ambition. But the lack of long-term incentives and a robust ecosystem is forcing top talent to seek opportunities abroad, leading to a drain of intellectual capital.
To counter this, he advocates a strategic realignment of national priorities. His recommendations include increasing public-private funding for AI-focused startups, developing competitive R&D environments, building world-class research infrastructure, and enabling greater freedom and scalability for Indian innovators.
“As global competition in AI intensifies, India must invest in retaining its talent instead of exporting it. Only then can we become the epicenter of next-gen AI development,” Khare added.
Rajat Khare is a global venture capitalist known for his foresight in identifying and backing disruptive deep-tech startups. As the founder of Boundary Holding, he has invested in over 20 high-growth companies across sectors like AI, robotics, cybersecurity, and industrial automation. His work has been featured in leading international publications and cited in academic research, including a case study by INSEAD Business School, highlighting his impact on the global tech investment ecosystem.
