Founder & President

Mr. P.C. Tripathi's impressive background reflects significant expertise in national trade policy,

export controls, and strategic defense industries. As the Founder President of the Defense and Strategic Industries Association of India, his leadership is pivotal in guiding and shaping policies related to defense and high-tech industries.

His experience, particularly his role as Joint Director General of Foreign Trade in the Government of India, would have provided him with valuable insight into international trade dynamics, export control systems, and the promotion of technology transfer and foreign direct investment, especially concerning dual-use technologies. Dual-use refers to technologies that can be used for both civilian and military purposes, so his focus on this area is particularly crucial in maintaining a balance between national security and economic growth. With a background from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, Mr. Tripathi's technical knowledge would complement his policy-making expertise, enabling him to bridge the gap between high-tech commerce and government regulations.

Director

Piyush Pandey's background and experience make him a prominent figure in the defense industry, particularly in areas that require strong strategic thinking, market insights, and international collaboration. His career trajectory reflects deep expertise in corporate relations, branding, and strategic partnerships in the defense sector.

With over a decade of experience, his role in market research, gap analysis in defense policies, and information security management is crucial for navigating the complexities of defense industry regulations and international partnerships. It’s clear that he bridges the gap between defense needs and the latest technological advancements, working to integrate foreign technologies into India’s defense systems.

His work involving Joint Ventures (JVs) and technology transfer highlights the growing importance of offsets and partnerships between Indian and foreign tech-rich companies, particularly in the defense sector.

His interactions with high-ranking officials in various Indian ministries and the Indian Armed Forces show his critical role in shaping defense policies and understanding the evolving needs of the armed forces. His efforts in promoting collaboration between foreign companies and India’s defense forces not only ensure the latest technology is transferred but also strengthen India’s strategic defense alliances globally.
