Dinesh Shivanna (CTO) and Vivek Krishnan (CEO) lead SSS Defence, one of India’s first private companies to design and manufacture sniper and assault rifles from scratch. Based in Bangalore, SSS Defence is revolutionizing India’s defense sector by reducing dependency on foreign arms and building next-gen small arms, optics, and tactical gear suited for real-world Indian conditions.

In this hard-hitting episode of Dostcast, Vinamre and the SSS Defence team discuss:

1. Why India still imports weapons — and what’s stopping us from going all-in on indigenous arms
2. The engineering behind weapon design — aesthetics, functionality, and solving problems with zero blueprint
3. Geopolitical risks in real wars — China in Djibouti, Germany’s silent control, and global supply chain vulnerabilities
4. Inside India’s arms race — public vs private defense manufacturing, foreign partnerships, and national self-reliance
5. Real stories from war-like zones, the rise of drone warfare, and how to run a defense startup in India

If you care about India’s military future, national security, or the business of war, this episode is a must-watch.
