IIM Bangalore hosts seminar on defence technology and management
The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM Bangalore) hosted Shaurya 2026, a national seminar examining developments in technology, innovation and management within the defence sector.
The seminar was conceived and organised by Batch 5 of the Business Management Programme for Defence Officers (BMPDO), an Executive Education Programme for officers of the Indian Armed Forces. The event brought together representatives from the armed forces, industry, technology organisations, academia and other sectors for discussions on the changing requirements of the defence ecosystem.
The sessions covered a range of topics, including emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, maintenance and repair, supply chains, skills and financing for technology development.
Delivering the welcome address, Prof. U Dinesh Kumar, Director-in-Charge, IIM Bangalore, spoke about the growing importance of technology and reliable data in organisational decision-making. He also highlighted the need to understand the capabilities and limitations of artificial intelligence when applying it to complex areas. The seminar included discussions on how academic institutions, industry and government organisations can work together on technology development and knowledge sharing. Speakers also examined the role of research, engineering skills and management practices in supporting innovation. Other sessions considered areas such as unmanned systems, aerospace technologies, maintenance and technology transfer, as well as the role of startups and smaller enterprises in the wider industrial ecosystem. The event provided participants with an opportunity to examine these issues from different professional perspectives. For executive education, such forums can serve as platforms for connecting classroom learning with developments in industry, technology and public-sector organisations.
