About 4th Drone Shaurya 2027

Drone Shaurya 2027 – 4th Edition is India's leading Global Summit, Expo & Awards dedicated to advancing the future of Unmanned Systems, Drone Technologies, Autonomous Platforms, AI-enabled Robotics, Counter-Drone Solutions, and Next-Generation Aerial Mobility. As a flagship concurrent event of SwaRaksha Mahotsav 2027, the event will bring together the complete ecosystem of drone manufacturers, technology providers, defence organizations, government agencies, industry leaders, startups, researchers, investors, and end-users on a single global platform.

The event will serve as a catalyst for collaboration between the Armed Forces, CAPFs, State Police, Disaster Response Agencies, Civil Aviation, Infrastructure Companies, Agriculture, Mining, Energy, Logistics, Geospatial, Marine, Healthcare, and Smart City stakeholders, showcasing cutting-edge unmanned technologies and their transformative applications across defence, homeland security, industrial operations, and civilian sectors.

Drone Shaurya 2027 will feature an extensive programme comprising international keynote addresses, strategic leadership summits, technical conferences, panel discussions, live drone demonstrations, product launches, startup showcases, B2B and B2G meetings, innovation pavilions, and the prestigious Drone Shaurya Awards, recognizing outstanding achievements in innovation, manufacturing, research, entrepreneurship, operational excellence, and women leadership in the unmanned systems ecosystem.

With India rapidly emerging as a global hub for drone manufacturing, autonomous technologies, and dual-use innovations, Drone Shaurya 2027 aims to accelerate indigenous capability development, promote technology partnerships, strengthen policy dialogue, and foster investments that support the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat 2047.

Held at the Biswa Bangla Exhibition & Convention Centre, Kolkata, the event will provide unparalleled opportunities for networking, business development, technology transfer, and strategic collaborations, making it one of the most influential gatherings for the unmanned systems industry in South Asia.

Theme

Innovate : Integrate : Indigenize

INTEGRATE :

Integration plays a vital role in the seamless incorporation of unmanned systems into various sectors and industries. The "Make in India" initiative promotes the local manufacturing of unmanned systems, fostering collaboration between domestic companies and international stakeholders to develop indigenous capabilities. By integrating locally manufactured drones and unmanned technologies into critical sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, healthcare, and defense, India can enhance efficiency, productivity, and self reliance.

INDIGENIZE :

Indigenisation focuses on nurturing indigenous research, development, and production capabilities within the unmanned systems industry. Through many initiatives taken by India’s premium organizations such as Armed Forces, ISRO and INspace, the government aims to empower homegrown startups and companies to design, manufacture, and deploy unmanned systems tailored to Indian requirements. Indigenization not only strengthens national security and sovereignty but also spurs economic growth, job creation, and technological advancement.

Why in Kolkata, West Bengal

Gateway to Eastern & North-Eastern India

Kolkata serves as the commercial and logistics hub for Eastern India, connecting West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, Assam and the entire North-East. The region represents one of India’s largest untapped markets for defence, homeland security, drones and geospatial technologies.

Strategic Defence Location

Eastern India is witnessing increasing strategic importance due to its proximity to international borders with Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and the Bay of Bengal maritime region. This creates strong demand for surveillance, border management, UAVs, cybersecurity and defence technologies.

Strong Maritime & Naval Ecosystem

Kolkata is home to major naval and shipbuilding assets including Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers and the headquarters of the Eastern Naval Command’s key support establishments. The city’s maritime ecosystem aligns perfectly with defence, MRO, naval technologies and homeland security sectors.

Eastern India's Largest Port & Logistics Hub

The city is anchored by Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port and the Haldia port complex, making it a major logistics gateway. Recent investment plans aim to transform West Bengal into Eastern India’s maritime and logistics hub with investments exceeding ₹19,000 crore.

Growing Defence Manufacturing Base

Defence authorities have specifically called for greater participation from MSMEs in Eastern India, indicating significant opportunities for defence suppliers, startups and innovators from the region.

Strategic Gateway to Southern and Central India

Hyderabad’s central location makes it easily accessible from major cities across South and Central India, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Nagpur, Raipur, and Bhubaneswar. This geographical advantage allows the event to attract participants from multiple high-growth regions rather than being limited to a single state. Organizations can engage with stakeholders from diverse markets and sectors through one platform. The city’s excellent connectivity also enables strong participation from international delegates and industry representatives. This broader reach significantly enhances the value proposition for exhibitors and sponsors.

Access to a Massive MSME Ecosystem

West Bengal has one of India’s largest MSME ecosystems, with millions of enterprises capable of becoming suppliers to aerospace, defence, drone and security industries.

Emerging Industrial & Logistics Corridors

The Dankuni–Howrah logistics belt, Durgapur industrial region and East Coast Industrial Corridor projects are strengthening the state’s manufacturing and supply-chain capabilities.

Gateway to BIMSTEC & South-East Asia

Kolkata offers direct access to Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar and ASEAN markets. This makes the city a natural venue for international participation and cross-border defence, security and technology collaborations.

Strong Academic & Research Ecosystem

The city hosts premier institutions such as:

Indian Statistical Institute
Jadavpur University
IIT Kharagpur
Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur

These institutions provide a strong foundation for innovation, AI, robotics, geospatial sciences and defence R&D.
