#MakeinIndia- #ExistingFault Lines For #IndianAerospace Brands:- #Introduction:- During #BharatShakti #TriServicesExercise lot of credits were taken by Generals/AirMarshalls / Admirals/ Government Leadership for manufacturing of many #Indigenous equipments / weapons platforms/ aircrafts/ helicopters/Radars/EW Equipments/Communication Equipments/Submarines/,AC Carriers/Missiles, Land combat vehicles. However none highlighted how many billions of dollars were wasted in regards to products development, IOC & FOC approvals due to large decisions cycle on files at every level in every Defense PSUs or in DRDO or in Private Sector companies or at DGAQA or at CEMILAC or at SHQs, Field Formations,Repairs Organizations, Naval Shipyards, DDP or at MoD. #ExistingFaultLines:- a)First is if you are a #Indian Aerospace Brands then who are you? No one in any organizations has a time unless ur a Kalyani or #BharatForge or #Reliance or #AdaniAerospace or #L& T or #TATAs or #Godrej Aerospace or #AlphaDesign, #DefSys,Horizon, ATX. For officials you are a #vender & then not allowed to speak or communicate with the #officials for security reasons. If you send an email no response is received. If u write a letter for seeking any appointment or clarify or any injustice done in the tender portal results then reply would never be received. b)#Procedures for #Make or #Make2 or #Make3 is such that though no one knows much about the subject matter but still all officials would teach you with their logics during making of Statement of Case for Procurement or during Feasibility studies or during Technical Vetting or Field Evaluations or Processing of Files for Project Sanctions Orders even though risk or funding is from a loan taken by the private sector companies for a noble cause of India Advantages. My point here is that if they know so much about it then they can award such manufacturing of components or platform or weapons projects sanction letter in house only to those officials who are ready for seeking Presidential Awards or in line for Future Promotions for higher ranks in the hierarchy. c)#PMMrNarendraModiSir said private sector companies can seek loans upto 2 crores from Banks without collateral as Government would be its Guarantee just like Banks NPAs in thousands of crores are written off. Still #nobanks is ready even to Start Ups. d)#Existingmachines & infrastructure installed at tax payers money at DRDO or in Defense PSUs or at ISRO or at SHQs Repairs sites; can not be accessed for production or manufacturing by small private sector companies. My point here is why underutilized machinery or Labs for Development of Products can not be utilized? e) #SuoMottoIndustries Funded Projects proposals are put in shedding machines so that they can go for imports. #Conclusion:- Audit of all such Suo Motto Industries Funded Projects left in lurch should be investigated so that officials at SHQs should be held accountable with no further promotions.

What can FM gift to SMEs? Today, MSMEs are smart and competing with large corporations across various sectors. A prime example is the F&B industry, with companies like Paperboat, Bira 91, Licious, and Yogabar. MSMEs are not seeking subsidies or Production Linked Incentives (PLIs). For every successful startup we hear about, many others disappear. As someone who serves on the boards of several startups, I see that their challenges are multifold: 1. Permits and Licenses: Obtaining basic permits and licenses can take an exorbitant amount of time, ranging from months to years, even for non-invasive medical devices, simple drones, GeM registration, and trademarks. The Finance Ministry could create a simple single-window system exclusively for startups. 2. Compliance Hurdles: Startups, like babies, need support from the system. Currently, these young companies must compete with well-resourced established companies. The Finance Ministry should simplify compliance regulations for startup private limited companies to be as simple and straightforward as those for proprietary companies. 3. Incubation Centers: When I started an operation in Gothenburg, Sweden, a few years ago, the Mayor’s office provided us with a free office in a world-class development center, free audit services from E&Y for a year, and free legal services for a year. They also introduced us to top companies there. Singapore offers similar facilities. While we have various organizations and industrial development corporations, they are often too confusing and operate like profit centers. 4. CGTMSE: This scheme is intended to help startups (MSMEs) secure credit facilities without collateral. However, 90% of startups do not benefit from it. The scheme excludes pre-money startups, non-profitable startups, and those without a two-year banking relationship, effectively excluding 90% of startups. The government should establish a mechanism for evaluating idea-level and pre-money startups. 5. Confusing Schemes: There are numerous schemes, but startups lack clarity on which ones to apply for and which ministries offer what. The government should set up a startup guidance cell in each state and outsource its management to companies like TCS for effective implementation. #financeministry #budget #schemes #cgtmse #startups #pmo

Certain salient views expressed by me in the following article “Under Trump India-US Space Sector May Soar” By Venkatachari Jagannathan Comparing Modi and Trump's political outlook in brief, Tapan Misra, founding director and chief scientist, Sisir Radar Pvt Ltd, says both leaders are nationalistic and keen to revamp indigenous production of sophisticated technology products, including those in defence, space and mobile and satellite communication technologies to boost their economies. "So, the natural outcome will be greater thrust on exports and restrictions of imports. That is where there is a potential source of conflict, both politically and economically. This conflict may result in technology denials, restrictions and tech import delays," says Misra, who was earlier director, Space Applications Centre, ISRO, Ahmedabad. "I feel both countries will compete but also find common ground to together compete against other countries. Both of them will also find the gaps in each other's strengths and will cooperate to complement each other," adds Misra. "SpaceX achieves almost three launches per week whereas ISRO launches are barely six per year. Naturally per kg launch cost of ISRO is way ahead in comparison to SpaceX. I feel India will allow the US launch industry leeway as the technology gap is immense and market size is small," forecasts Misra. According to Misra, India will invest mostly in research and development to maintain strategic muscle and bargaining power in rocket technology. "Though today, the private satellite industry is just learning to walk, I will not be surprised India will emerge as a potential exporter in the satellite bus provided ISRO lends out helping hands to its private brethren," he says. "In remote sensing technology, India is at par with any other country in terms of system development and operationalisation. India is going to emerge as a strong player in remote sensing, both optical and radar-based. I am hopeful that in the next 5 to 10 years, the Indian private space industry will emerge as a strong global player in remote sensing," says Misra. India, Misra points out, was hitherto a strong player in space communication satellites. "Unfortunately, India could not envisage total reimagination of satellite communication by SpaceX Starlink and OneWeb, by integrating 5G with the LEO satellite constellation," explains Misra. "This has put India totally on the back foot, obliterating the difference between mobile and satellite communication, making mobile towers and ground segments useless in another decade," adds Misra. https://lnkd.in/gkCBh9A2 #SpaceInnovation #TechLeadership #SatelliteCommunication #SpaceResearch #radarapplications #SyntheticApertureRadar #SARImaging #RadarTechnology #RemoteSensingTech #EarthObservation #SAR #Radar #radartechnology #IndoUSRelations #IndiaUSPartnership #GlobalTechCollaboration #indian #trump #sisirradar #satellite

Decoding Trump's 2.0 Victory in the U.S. Elections 2024:- 1. Indo-U.S. Strategic Partnership: Strengthening Alliances: Trump's first term saw a concerted effort to boost U.S.-India relations, with increased defense collaborations,economic partnerships, & cultural exchanges.Trump views India as a key counterbalance to China, an outlook that aligns with India's regional goals. Defense Cooperation: Trump has historically supported enhanced defense ties, evident in previous arms deals & technology transfers. US technologies with restrictions on Usege makes it No Go in Indian scenarios. Delayed Supplies of GE Aeroengines remains a concern for LCA Tejas Aircrafts in India. Economic Relations & Trade Agreements: Trump's transactional approach to trade could also aim to reduce the trade deficit with India, prompting negotiations for a comprehensive FTA deal.Trump needs to be more accomodative in imports of Pharma & Biotech products from India. 2. Middle East Affairs: Stability through Realignment Trump’s "America First" foreign policy in the Middle East has been centered on minimizing U.S. involvement in conflicts, focusing instead on Economic influence & Strategic Alliances, particularly with the Gulf states. Normalization Deals & Gulf Relations: Trump brokered the Abraham Accords in his previous term, facilitating normalization between Israel & Arab nations. Energy & Economic Interests: Trump's policy might prioritize securing energy supplies, given the U.S.'s interest in stabilizing oil prices as they are No 1 producers. 3. Ukraine-Russia Conflict: A Path to Negotiated Stability? Trump was notably hesitant to confront Russia directly, expressing more interest in Cooperation than Conflict. Pressing for a Negotiated Settlement: Trump has indicated a desire to resolve the Ukraine-Russia conflict, potentially through a negotiated settlement that could see U.S. reducing support for Ukraine in exchange for a ceasefire.No more US Military Aids to Ukraine wef Jan 25. Impact on Global Power Balance: A softer stance on Russia is the only way to changes in globe.For India, a de-escalation means less regional instabilities in Central Asia. 4. Israel-Gaza Strip Conflicts: A Tough Stance with Limited Involvement Trump's pro-Israel stance has traditionally included strong support for Israel's security needs. Unyielding Support for Israel: Trump is expected to continue policies that recognize Israel's security actions in Gaza as defensive, with no direct involvement. Risk of Escalation with Limited Mediation: Trump could potentially see escalations in the Gaza Strip. Conclusion:- A second Trump presidency could mean a complex recalibration of U.S. foreign policy that may prioritize economic pragmatism, selective engagement, & strong but transactional alliances. In a multipolar world, a Trump-led U.S. might continue to reshape alliances & redefine its role as a superpower. IndoUS Collaboration Group IndoAmerican Chamber of Commerce, India

There is no doubt that the Aviation in India is on the cusp of rapid growth, it's trajectory might even surprise many of the proponents of the growth story themselves. If the infrastructure at the airports and around might not play the spoilsport, the only other impediment to the growth in numbers might be our own self doubting capabilities. An all encompassing view of the current scenario can avoid the potential risks of infra mismatch spoiling the party in the sky. The urban designers and the head of policy and research might need to take a bird's eyeview of the emerging picture now. #IndiameansOpportunity
