About Bamalwa Tech

Sovereign directed-energy, built for India.

We're developing a cost-effective, field-maintainable high-power microwave system for counter-drone and area denial — reducing dependence on imported defence systems and putting frontier capability in Indian hands.

01 · The mission

Capability that doesn't depend on a port of entry.

Drone warfare has changed faster than the systems meant to counter it. Imported directed-energy platforms are scarce, expensive, and hard to sustain in the field. Bamalwa Tech exists to close that gap with an Indian system — one designed from the outset for local conditions, local repair, and local production.

Our focus is narrow and deliberate: high-power microwave directed energy, applied to the counter-drone and area-denial problem, at a cost that makes wide deployment realistic.

FOUNDER

Yashovardhan Bamalwa

EE & CS · Rutgers University · 2024

Yashovardhan studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Rutgers University, graduating in 2024, with a focus on phased-array and antenna technologies — the disciplines at the core of Bamalwa Tech's directed-energy work.

He founded Bamalwa Tech to bring that expertise to India's most pressing air-defence gap.

03 · How we build

Four commitments behind the system.

A

Indigenous by design

An Indian system for Indian needs — engineered to be built, fielded and sustained domestically.

B

Modular & repairable

A swappable subsystem architecture means field-level repair without specialised facilities or long supply chains.

C

Cost-disciplined

Frontier capability is only useful if it can be deployed at scale. We engineer to a cost that makes that possible.

D

Field-first

Ruggedised for Indian operational conditions, with intuitive diagnostics and minimal downtime.

04 · Ecosystem

Built alongside India's research and defence ecosystem.

We develop in collaboration with leading Indian academic institutions and align our pathway with India's defence-innovation ecosystem — from early validation through trials and production.
