WHO WE ARE
A connected home for India's defence and technology ecosystem.
MARKSMAN is a digital platform built to bring defence technology, procurement, innovation, academia, industry, policymakers and end users onto a single, trusted space. We exist to make verified information, opportunities and expertise easy to find and easier to act on — replacing fragmented networks with one connected ecosystem.
OUR MISSION
Cutting through the noise on land, air, sea, cyber and space.
To build a trusted digital platform connecting defence technology, procurement, innovation, academia, industry, policymakers, and end users through knowledge, collaboration, and strategic business development.
WHY WE STARTED
Good ideas were getting lost in a fragmented ecosystem.
Too many strong technologies and capabilities never reached the people who needed them — stuck across closed procurement channels, disconnected research and scattered industry networks. We built MARKSMAN so verified information, opportunities and expertise can move freely between everyone shaping India's defence capability.
