About Zen Technologies

Zen Technologies (NSE: ZENTEC) is a 33-year-old listed Indian defence technology company, founded with the conviction that India must be unbeatable in war. Its products — combat training simulators, counter-drone systems, autonomous weapon stations, loitering munitions, and interceptor drones — are in active use with the Indian Armed Forces and are increasingly sought by defence forces globally.

The company is targeting ₹3,000–4,000 Cr in revenues within the next 2–3 years, from a base built on proprietary technology and sovereign manufacturing capability.

The systems Zen makes are what Indian soldiers rely on. A failure to deliver is not a business problem — it is a national security problem.
