Today, during my meeting with a delegation from the National Institute for Defence Studies (NIDS), I had also invited Bengaluru-based startups working in the defence and space sector for a conversation.

1. NewSpace Research & Technologies (Julius Amrit, COO) is providing next-generation unmanned aerial platforms and swarm drone systems for real-time surveillance and precision tracking.

2. Digantara (Shreyas Mirji, VP) is delivering space situational awareness data to monitor orbital debris and support secure communication pathways for the Indian Armed Forces.

3. Pixxel (Awais Ahmed, CEO) is supplying hyperspectral satellite imagery for high-resolution terrain mapping and verification of remote infrastructure targets.

4. Accord Software & Systems (Manjunath VS) has developed India’s first indigenous GNSS chipset, enabling NavIC-based positioning and timing solutions. With over three decades of collaboration with ISRO and DRDO, its GNSS, NavIC, and electronic warfare systems are used across multiple sectors.

All in all, our startups are working towards Atmanirbharta advancing deep-tech innovation and strengthening indigenous ecosystem.

A powerful symbol of #AatmanirbharDefence, #INSAridhaman reflects India’s growing defence capabilities and unwavering commitment to national security.

🔸 INS Aridhaman, the next #Arihant-class nuclear-powered submarine, marks a significant advancement in India’s sea-based deterrence—larger, more capable, and designed for extended underwater endurance.

🔸 Equipped with an upgraded 83 MW reactor and 8 vertical launch tubes, it can deploy K-4 and K-15 ballistic missiles, reinforcing India’s credible second-strike capability.

A quiet yet formidable addition to India’s nuclear triad.

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.

The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.

This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.

A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

The aim of the exercise is to enhance interoperability between the two forces while undertaking joint urban warfare and counter-terrorism operations. Over the two weeks, troops will refine joint planning, synchronise tactical drills and practise specialised combat skills. Key activities include establishing a Temporary Operating Base, developing an ISR grid, mobile check posts, cordon and search operations, heliborne missions and house intervention drills.

India achieves a major hypersonic milestone |

Hyderabad-based DRDL, @DRDO_India, successfully conducted a 12+ minute long-duration ground test of a full-scale actively cooled scramjet combustor at its SCPT facility, strengthening India’s Hypersonic Cruise Missile programme.

Raksha Mantri Shri @rajnathsingh termed it a solid foundation for future hypersonic capabilities.

A significant stride in India’s space sector…

The successful LVM3-M6 launch, placing the heaviest satellite ever launched from Indian soil, the spacecraft of USA, BlueBird Block-2, into its intended orbit, marks a proud milestone in India’s space journey.

It strengthens India’s heavy-lift launch capability and reinforces our growing role in the global commercial launch market.

This is also reflective of our efforts towards an Aatmanirbhar Bharat. Congratulations to our hardworking space scientists and engineers.

India continues to soar higher in the world of space!

When I started competing, I had a small dream - to one day compete alongside the able-bodied and win medals ♥️ I didn’t make it at first, but I kept going, learning from every setback.

Now, that dream is one step closer. 🌟

In the Asia Cup trials, I secured Rank 3 and will now represent India in the Asia Cup - in the able-bodied category. 🇮🇳

Dreams take time. Work. Believe. Repeat. 💫
