Six presenting teams in one room, with Lt. Gen. Anil Kapoor (former DG EME, Indian Army) in the front row.
Building in defence and deep tech means tackling some of the most fascinating engineering challenges. And the answers to some of these sticky questions are best found when we learn from one another. That’s why we’re hosting a demo day to celebrate India’s hard-tech ecosystem.
Join the deep-tech team at Elevation Capital for an evening with founders building cutting-edge technology, from robotics and radars to aerospace and hardware, alongside the veterans and experts who know this domain best.
What presenting founders get
-
1:1 office hours and feedback from Lt Gen Anil Kapoor, who will anchor the evening and spend time with each team
-
A room of serving and retired defence professionals who will tell you what they think
-
Lab access through our partnership with National Instruments
What everyone else gets
-
An early look at six exciting teams building at the frontier of defence-tech
-
Lt Gen Kapoor’s read on where Indian Defence Tech is headed, and what the services are looking for
-
A curated room of ~30-50 people including founders, veterans, engineers, and the deep-tech investors from Elevation
Agenda
-
5:00 PM: Doors open
-
5:30 PM: Presentations | 6 founders taking us under the hood of their technology (6 mins per presentation + 4 mins for audience Q&A)
-
7:15 PM: Mixer | An hour to unwind, grab a bite, and dive deeper into the conversations started during the presentations.
Who should join
We’re intentionally keeping the room small so everyone gets a meaningful chance to connect. You’ll feel right at home if you are:
-
A founder or engineer building in deep tech, hardware, or defence
-
A serving or retired defence professional or domain veteran
-
Anyone who gets excited about complex engineering and big ideas!
Want to Present Your Tech?
If you are building something in this space and would like to present, tell us about it when you register. We read every submission carefully and will come back to you either way.
This event is part of Basecamp, a community-powered tech week in Bengaluru bringing founders, builders, and operators together. Basecamp is free for the community and powered by the community.
