DRISHTI, a groundbreaking initiative that marks a new chapter in India-Israel technological collaboration. Launched on December 9, 2024, DRISHTI is a high impact program designed to foster innovation and strategic partnerships between Israel and India, particularly in critical sectors such as defense, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotics, drones, and other dual-use technologies.

The program, named after the Sanskrit word for “vision” or “insight,” will facilitate the development of cutting-edge solutions that serve both defense and civilian sectors. The launch of DRISHTI is spearheaded by T-Hub, India’s leading startup incubator, in partnership with the Directorate of Defence Research & Development (DDR&D), Israel Ministry of Defence, and is enabled by the Motwani Jadeja Foundation (MJF). The program aims to enhance cooperation and accelerate technological innovation by providing Israeli startups with tailored mentorship, strategic market entry support, and access to India’s rapidly growing defense and high-tech sectors.
