DEFENCE AI STARTUPS AND PUBLIC-PRIVATE COLLABORATION: INDIA’S PATH TO INDIGENOUS DEEP TECH INNOVATION

Forging the Future of Defence Through Strategic Partnerships

India’s defence landscape is undergoing a transformative shift, moving from import dependence to indigenous innovation. At the heart of this transformation lies an unprecedented collaboration between public institutions like DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation), enabler platforms such as iDEX (Innovations for Defence Excellence), and a burgeoning ecosystem of private defence AI startups. This synergy is not merely reshaping India’s military capabilities but positioning the nation as a formidable player in the global defence technology export market.
