Very good step taken by Spear Corps of the Indian Army and IDEX-DIO. These interactions are essential to understand the dynamic and ever evolving situations faced by troops. Lends a better appreciation for proper development of equipment. Such interactions should be regularly conducted at different locations for better understanding by startups and academia.

These are the important and valuable visits and interactions for iDEX - DIO Offcials which would help them in understanding the operational constraints and the expectations while reviewing the Challenge Curation and Problem Statement submitted by #indianarmy as part of the due diligence and monitoring of building the product right by the iDEX innovators.

4moInteraction such as these are important for all the stake holders and will help in getting the right equipment based on the operational requirement. The armed forces spell out their requirement and at the same time the developers should bring out technical problem areas which may not benefit the product. At the same time it’s very important for the procurement arm also to be somewhere in the mix as they are the ones who make the final call!
