In a recent interaction with Raksha Anirveda, Shantanu Gupta shares insights into the evolving role of simulation technologies in defence and aviation training. The discussion highlights how simulation is transitioning from a supporting tool to a core infrastructure for operational readiness—enabling safer, scalable, and high-fidelity training environments.
The conversation explores key themes including AI-driven simulation, digital twin integration, and the shift toward interconnected, data-driven training ecosystems. It also outlines how indigenous development, modular system design, and cloud-based platforms are enabling global scalability while reducing dependency on external supply chains. Emphasising long-term capability building, Gupta notes that simulation is increasingly becoming central to defence preparedness, sustainability, and cost-efficient training—positioning India as a competitive player alongside global OEMs.
