Ritesh Hada, president of the varsity said, “The idea behind this demonstration is to let startups understand the ground-zero challenges faced by the
Indian Defence Forces and let them know about the innovations. This will mark the beginning of a healthy dialogue between startups and the defence sector personnel that will provide an opportunity to startups to understand the requirements so that their needs can be better addressed with ultramodern technology.”
