Gliders India, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, and Armoured Vehicles Nigam are three Indian firms showing their expertise at the Show as part of India's national Pavilion, buoyed by worldwide interest in their goods and developing India-South Korea connections.
"All Gliders India products are completely indigenous, with no foreign content at all," claimed V K Tiwari, Chairman and Managing Director of Gliders India. "Until 2021, our customers were the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force." We have spent the previous two years working on exporting our products. Since then, we've had six export orders. We are also receiving repeat purchases from overseas consumers."
According to Pratiksha Saini, Gliders India Joint General Manager, the firm has sold items to Malaysia, Vietnam, Bulgaria, and Indonesia in the previous two years. "Our products are known for their high quality because we manufacture life-saving equipment." In addition to being of high quality, our items are far less expensive than those of our competitors.
We have alliances with corporations in various nations and are now in talks with potential new international partners."
