Curation over coverage.

Inclusion

• Real product, technology, infrastructure, scientific output, or defensible industrial process.
• Engineering or scientific depth that is difficult to replicate.
• Work inside a frontier domain in the published taxonomy.
• Strategic relevance to India's industrial future, sovereignty, or global competitiveness.
• Credible team, technical seriousness, and global ambition.

Exclusion

• Consumer apps, social products, content plays, or copycat arbitrage.
• Services businesses presented as product companies.
• Pre-product companies without unusual technical signal.
• Generic AI wrappers without proprietary models, data, systems, or deployment depth.
• Paid placement. Inclusion is editorial, not transactional.

Dual-use convention

Some companies work in civilian and strategic domains at once. NatCap marks those profiles plainly, describes public products in full, and does not speculate about restricted programs.

Freshness

Every profile carries a review timestamp. No production profile should remain live for more than twelve months without editorial review.
