Hello Everyone,
I am a Mechanical designer with over 8 years of experience in hardcore design and product development, reliability and manufacturing. I have an education from IIT Kharagpur. Since as long as I can remember I have been very enthusiastic about weapon systems and Small Arms in particular.
Since the push for Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat started, i have been constantly following the development and acquisition of Assault rifles and carbines in India. Personally i have studies over a dozen rifle designs and even created some system level concepts. The aim is to develop a small arms system that is designed for the Indian Army from ground up, while being the among the best in the world.
However what I really lack and where I would love to have some support from this forum, is connecting with the real people who have hands on experience with the INSAS and the AK. So if you are a member or know anyone in the Army who has such experience, or in fact anyone who is interested in what I am trying to do, please do contact me, i would love to discuss further.
As of recently, i have resigned as the head of research and development of a reputed company, and i am pursuing this full time. I believe it's time that the best of the country come together to achieve what has forever remained a dream for all of us - a designed and made in India - world class Assault Rifle.
Seeking your support.
