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.
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.

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.
An Indian system for Indian needs — engineered to be built, fielded and sustained domestically.
A swappable subsystem architecture means field-level repair without specialised facilities or long supply chains.
Frontier capability is only useful if it can be deployed at scale. We engineer to a cost that makes that possible.
Ruggedised for Indian operational conditions, with intuitive diagnostics and minimal downtime.
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.
