SwaRaksha Mahotsav Ahmedabad

SwaRaksha Mahotsav is a leading international trade fair and knowledge platform for aerospace, defense, geospatial technologies, space, and maritime systems. The name derives from the Sanskrit word SwaRaksha, meaning “self-defense”, and reflects the vision of a secure, independent, and technologically sovereign future. It is organized by the Trade Promotion Council for Geospatial & Space Industry (TPCGSI), which serves as a key driver of global knowledge and technology transfer.
