CUMI's Defence Push: Ceramics and Composites

CUMI's Defence Push: Ceramics and Composites

CUMI is a company that makes special materials like ceramics and composites.

These materials are very strong and can be used to make things like bulletproof jackets and parts for airplanes and drones.

In a recent talk, Subbu Venkatachalam, who leads CUMI's aerospace and defence divisions, explained how these materials help protect people and machines in the military.

CUMI is working with the Indian government to make these materials in India and is also teaching school students about drones.

This is part of India's effort to make its own defence equipment instead of buying it from other countries.
