T-Hub, Indian Army Central Command Partner to Accelerate Defence Start-Ups

T-Hub and the Indian Army’s Central Command have started working together.

The Army will share real problems that it needs technology to solve.

T-Hub will find start-ups that may be able to build those solutions.

The start-ups can work directly with Army users while developing their products.

They will also be able to test and validate the technologies.

A joint committee will supervise the programme.

T-Hub will help with product development, testing and preparation for the market.

The partnership is meant to give defence start-ups a clearer path from an Army problem to a solution that could be used in the field.
