The 10th India Defence Conclave (IDC) — Registration

Description

Tuesday, 4th November 2025

The 10th India Defence Conclave (IDC) marks a landmark year for BharatShakti’s flagship forum. For a decade, IDC has convened the nation’s most consequential conversation on defence and national security, bringing together Service leadership, policymakers, strategic partners, innovators, and the defence-industrial ecosystem. This 10th iteration celebrates that legacy while setting the agenda for the next decade of Atmanirbharta, exports, jointness, and cutting-edge military technology.

The Epitome of Defence Forums

Curated by BharatShakti, IDC has earned its reputation as the event where strategic vision translates into actionable roadmaps. Expect authoritative keynotes, hard-hitting panels and a technology showcase that spotlights indigenous capability and global collaboration. The Conclave is designed for outcomes: policy clarity, procurement insight, export pathways, and Industry-Services partnerships that move from intention to execution.

Background & Legacy

BharatShakti.in, India’s pioneering defence and strategic affairs platform, has since its inception in November 2015 championed the cause of self-reliance in defence and strategic sector reforms. The annual India Defence Conclave (earlier the Defence Attachés Conclave) has grown into a marquee platform that convenes India’s military leadership, the defence attaché corps, industry leaders, and strategic thinkers under one roof.

With nine successful editions behind us, the 10th India Defence Conclave in November 2025 will mark a milestone — a celebration of the journey so far and a forward-looking dialogue on the evolving landscape of India’s defence and strategic vision.
