Venture capitalists must increase support for defence startups, says NITI Aayog’s Saraswat
NITI Aayog member and former DRDO director general VK Saraswat on Sunday said venture capitalists must increase financial support for Indian defence startups, which he asserted have come a long way.
On a question about deepening defence ties with the US and the balance required to ensure the enduring partnership with Russia is not affected, he said the prime focus was on meeting India’s requirements rather than “choosing between A and B”.
Speaking with PTI Videos on the sidelines of ‘Advantage Vidarbha -2026 Business Conclave and Investment Summit’ here, Saraswat asserted India will continue to progress on its path in the same way as the country has done in the past irrespective of what is happening in geopolitical framework.
