“ We have indigenised a lot of things; however, the idea remained elsewhere. With iDEX and the Defence India Startup Challenge, an effort is being made to indigenise everything in defence. It is up to the Startups to literally pound us with all “ their innovative ideas. You will never have the grievance that they are not being responded to. You have never had it better. NIRMALA SITHARAMAN Raksha Mantri Govt. of India
Message From Secretary, Dept. of Defence Production With over 20,000 active startups and nearly USD 10 Billion of funding annually, India is one of the hotspots of startups in the world. These startups have fuelled innovation, development, deployment, and commercialisation of new products, processes and services driven by technology and intellectual property. Defence and Aerospace are areas which have been on the frontier of innovation and it has been Government’s effort to bring the vibrant startup ecosystem to work closely with defence and aerospace. Innovation for Defence Excellence (iDEX), launched by Department of Defence Production in the Ministry of Defence in April 2018, has created huge interest in startup community to work in this reclusive sector. The Defence India Startup Challenges have brought over 500 startups which are today active in this space. The iDEX Partner Incubators have enabled Department of Defence Production to reach out to startups in all nooks and corners of the country. The progress has been extremely heartening and encouraging. I foresee Indian startups marching strongly to occupy a place of pride in the innovation advancement in the global defence and aerospace sector. On the occasion of Aero India 2019, this Coffee Table Book celebrates the promise of startups dedicated to the Aerospace sector in India. DR. AJAY KUMAR, IAS Secretary, Dept. of Defence Production Min. of Defence, Govt. of India
