My take:
-tag it as a national initiative
-capital can be raised as “social IPO”
-GoI offers sovereign guarantee
-identify the best technocrat to head it with sweeping powers
-reverse drain 'the brain' with top class pay packages
-Tier 2 town to accept the infra challenge

-The potential of this initiative can take India to a 5T in no time
-create a ripple effect in economy and job sector
-offer to the world the cheapest place to manufacture chips
-bullet train, mangalyaan, GSLV, Aadhar, LCA shows we can do it and should it
