THE JOURNEY
Indian deep tech entrepreneur
Samarth Rathi is an Indian deep-tech entrepreneur who started young and started serious. As a teenager, he completed an MBA, built eight startups, and served as CTO across six companies. From coding to sales and strategy, he learned by doing. He built women’s safety software, believing technology should protect people first.
One question kept returning: why does India import its future? That question became OBOTER Technologies, founded in Delhi NCR in 2021 — not for profit as a first motive, but for proof. Proof that India can build world-class deep technology from scratch.
Today OBOTER focuses on electro-optics — the science of light, sensing, and precision measurement — developing systems that see and detect what conventional technology cannot. From FTIR spectroscopy to medical imaging and aerospace sensing, every division traces back to one foundation: light. Samarth also studies law at Jindal Global University, running engineering and policy thinking in parallel. One goal. Build technology that makes life genuinely exciting.
