Our Defense and Aerospace Industry Program conducts research, policy analysis and business consulting. We actively collaborate with government entities to present various policy options for achieving defense manufacturing, indigenization, and export goals. In partnership with the Indian Armed Forces, we provide critical insights into the implications of emerging technologies and their impact on warfare and security scenarios through battlespace trend analysis and forecasts. Additionally, our program conducts research to formulate procurement strategies and warfighting doctrines that align with these new technologies and weapon systems.

Furthermore, we maintain close ties with both national and international public and private firms, offering comprehensive market research and strategy development services. These services encompass market entry strategies, differentiation, growth planning, branding, pitching, and networking to promote exports. We also undertake in-depth risk assessments and resilience modeling, examining the Indian policy environment and global economic sentiments.

The defense industry landscape in India is undergoing significant transformations, marked by governmental reforms such as increased foreign direct investment (FDI) limits and partnerships with foreign firms, as well as the corporatization of key public defense manufacturing entities. In tandem, the sector is expanding its horizons to emerge as a prominent player in the international arms market, and our program is dedicated to facilitating this transition
