Challenging the Chinese with drones and robotics
Hindustan Times Haryana
|February 19, 2025
Rahul Gandhi's recent criticism of India's drone industry, while brandishing a banned DJI drone, highlights a misunderstanding of India's technological capabilities and a disregard for the threats posed by China.
Ironically, his actions underscore the very need for supporting, not questioning, India's burgeoning drone and robotics sectors.
China's dominance in robotics, drones, and electric vehicles, while seemingly impressive, is built on a foundation of State control, espionage, and exploitation. Companies such as Unitree and DJI are not simply industry leaders; they are extensions of a government focused on global surveillance and dominance.
The dangers are evident: DJI drones used for unauthorized surveillance over United States (US) military sites are just one example. State subsidies and intellectual property theft have artificially inflated the success of Chinese companies, but this facade is crumbling. The US and Europe are finally taking action, implementing bans and tariffs to protect their own industries. China's golden age in these sectors is waning.
This creates a significant opportunity for India. The country is at a historic crossroads, poised not only to fill the void left by a retreating China but to redefine global markets. India's approach is fundamentally different. It relies not on underhanded tactics or espionage but on its talent, innovation, and integrity.
India's success in IT services and pharmaceuticals demonstrates its ability to dominate industries through capability and trustworthiness. India's robotics industry has tremendous potential and companies such as Addverb Technologies are setting new benchmarks in manufacturing and innovation.
