The Indian Navy is set to host the third edition of its flagship Innovation and Indigenisation Seminar, Swavlamban 2024, on the 28th and 29th of October 2024 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The seminar, themed "Strength and Power through Innovation and Indigenisation," aims to deepen the Navy’s collaboration with startups, MSMEs, researchers, innovators, and the Indian scientific community to drive cutting-edge advancements in naval technology.
Vice Admiral Krishna Swaminathan, the Vice Chief of Naval Staff (VCNS), has highlighted the critical role that innovation and self-reliance play in creating a powerful and modern Indian Navy. In alignment with the broader national vision of AatmaNirbhar Bharat, Swavlamban 2024 seeks to harness indigenous capabilities and disruptive technologies to develop next-generation weapons, sensors, communication systems, and combat capabilities for the Navy.
The annual seminar serves as a platform to bring together industry leaders, venture capitalists, members of academia, and innovators to discuss and collaborate on the development of state-of-the-art naval systems. This initiative is part of the Navy’s unwavering commitment to building a self-reliant defense ecosystem in India.
A Vision for a Self-Reliant Armed Forces
Swavlamban is built on the Navy’s belief that, if a technology can be developed anywhere, it can certainly be done in India—and perhaps even better. This year’s event will continue to push the envelope on indigenous innovation, with an emphasis on integrating modern, homegrown technologies into naval operations. 
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with key stakeholders, including startups and MSMEs, to explore synergies that can help boost India's defense production and capabilities. By nurturing collaboration between innovators and industry, Swavlamban 2024 aspires to significantly strengthen the Indian Navy and contribute to a stronger, self-reliant national defense.
Call to Action: Building the Future of Indian Naval Power
The Indian Navy invites all stakeholders—startups, industry leaders, researchers, and innovators—to participate in this crucial event. The seminar will focus on fostering innovation that enhances the Navy's operational capabilities while also contributing to India’s defense sector’s growth. As Vice Admiral Swaminathan put it, "Come join us at Bharat Mandapam on the 28th and 29th of October 2024, and lend your support to making the Indian Armed Forces stronger, sharper, more capable, and significantly more self-reliant. You will serve the nation well by doing so."
Swavlamban 2024 promises to be an essential milestone in India's journey towards achieving a robust, indigenous defense capability. Together, industry and innovators will work towards a vision of a more powerful, self-reliant Indian Navy that is fully equipped to meet the challenges of the future. (PR)
