Founder Talk: Where Deeptech Meets Real Founder Wisdom

A place where deeptech founders get raw clarity, not noise. I share real frameworks, battle-tested lessons, and truth from the trenches. If you’re building something world-class, this is your new home

Welcome to Founder Talk — my unfiltered space for deeptech founders, first-principle thinkers, and entrepreneurs who refuse to build anything ordinary.

I’m Dr. Prakash Mugali — deeptech founder, microwave engineer, MMA athlete, TEDx Speaker and startup mentor. For two decades I’ve lived inside labs, factories, boardrooms, and sometimes MMA cages, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:

Founders don’t need motivation.
They need clarity.
They need frameworks.
They need the truth no one tells them.

This publication will bring you exactly that.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Deeptech insights simplified without diluting the science

• Real founder psychology, not the Instagram-motivational version

• Investor-ready thinking for HNI, NRI & AIF-driven startup ecosystems

• Failures, fog, pivots, scars, and systems: the stuff that actually builds companies

• Short, sharp, high-impact lessons from the trenches of building Enerzi, running R&D, raising capital, and scaling deeptech in India

If you’re a founder hungry to build something world-class, an HNI exploring the deeptech frontier, or simply someone who loves the intersection of engineering, discipline and entrepreneurship…

You’re in the right dojo.
This is just the beginning.

Let’s decode, build and scale with precision and intensity.
