The challenge
India’s defence ecosystem is vast and complex, encompassing thousands of manufacturers, research labs, academic institutions, and maintenance facilities. Despite this scale, the absence of a centralised competency mapping system has led to fragmented visibility, duplicated efforts, and inefficient collaboration. Stakeholders face challenges in identifying and connecting capabilities across the defence value chain due to inconsistent data formats, lack of standardisation, and limited integration.
The opportunity
A competency mapping platform was developed in collaboration with a military organisation. KPMG in India helped design a tool to unify and structure the mapping of products, capabilities, and institutions across the defence value chain – from raw materials to advanced platforms.
KPMG in India’s approach included:
The outcome
The platform has significantly enhanced visibility and collaboration across India’s defence ecosystem:
5000+ defence manufacturers mapped with detailed competencies
1600+ testing facilities integrated nationwide
70+ research laboratories onboarded
Centre of Excellence for advanced manufacturing and domain-specific expertise
Extensive integration of inventory establishments
This initiative marks a transformative step in strengthening strategic defence capabilities through intelligent data-driven collaboration.
