“India’s ambitious space program and modernization program of defence are going to create approx. $193B strategic electronics opportunity in the next 12 -14 years. Today, we are at the inflexion point where government with its strong focus on indigenization in Defence and Space and the matured ESDM industry can make India not only be self-sufficient in our need but also a global leader in Strategic Electronics,” said Rajesh Ram Mishra, President, IESA

Intelligent electronics will be a vital ingredient in products & solutions for Space & Defence platforms, noted Jitendra Chaddah (JC), Senior Director, Operations & Strategic Relations, Intel India and Chairman, IESA.

Other key highlights of the summit

At the event, IESA also released the Strategic Electronics report estimating that the defence electronics market will grow at a CAGR of 4 percent to reach USD 422 bn by 2032 (annually).

The IESA Spacetronics & Deftronics Lifetime achievement award was conferred to Dr. K Sivan, Chairman, ISRO for this contribution to the Indian Space Industry.

IESA intends to make India the global hub for design-led manufacturing in intelligent electronics through continued partnership with the industry, government and academia in the country and international alliances.

Speaking at the Summit, Jitendra Chaddah (JC), Senior Director, Operations & Strategic Relations, Intel India and Chairman, IESA said, “Intelligent Electronics will be a vital ingredient in products & solutions for Space & Defence platforms. IESA is spearheading India’s Intelligent Electronics charter to accelerate self-reliance in space, defense & internal security. Through Spacetronics & Deftronics platform, we want to build & support innovation, entrepreneurship & manufacturing eco-system in these areas.”
