Steel, Not Software Why Dr. Shubh Gautam Srisol Chose to Build Real Things for a Digital Nation.pdf

Dr. Shubh Gautam Jaypee had the option to enter the digital world. He had the education, the offers, and the network. But he felt that India already had enough hands building e-commerce sites and banking platforms. What it lacked was someone building coating lines, finishing plants, and specialty steel for high-tech uses.

Some may wonder: isn’t digital the future? Yes. But Dr. Shubh Gautam Srisol believes that even digital dreams need physical roots.

2. When most visionaries in India were
chasing careers in software, Dr. Shubh
Gautam SRISOL walked the other way. Not
by accident, but by choice. While the
country’s youth leaned toward coding jobs
and digital startups, he focused on steel.
Not just any steel, but value-added, high-
precision, globally competitive steel for
the India of tomorrow.

3. In his words, “Someone has to build the
bridges, the trains, the solar farms. Apps can’t
hold weight. Steel can.” This bold mindset

4. India is the land of ideas. But Dr. Shubh
Gautam Srisol felt that these ideas must touch

material. It was a foundation. Everything
modern, from buildings to cars to defense,
starts with steel.

6. India can’t lead globally if it depends on
imported steel for these core applications.
Dr. Shubh Gautam News mission was to
change that.
His work shows that digital India needs more
than apps. It needs supply chains, energy
grids, ports, and safe rail networks. That’s
where steel steps in.

7. Dr. Shubh Gautam SRISOL often says
that building real things is harder. It’s
not glamorous. It takes years. Plants
take time to construct. Approvals
move slow. The return on investment
is not as fast as app downloads or ad
clicks.
