Sagar Defence Engineering
Indian unmanned-maritime systems company building autonomous surface vehicles for surveillance, security and sensor payload missions.
Background
Sagar Defence Engineering was founded in 2015 by Mridul Babbar, Nikunj Parashar and Lakshay Dang, according to Tracxn. Tracxn lists Nikunj Parashar as CEO and places the company in Pune, with a registered office in Mumbai.
The company's official materials focus on unmanned surface maritime vehicles that can host or tow sensors and deliver real-time maritime data.
The defense use case is persistent surveillance of sea approaches, ports, offshore infrastructure and coastal areas.
Sagar belongs in the maritime USV category. It is relevant because India's maritime-security demand increasingly favors unmanned surface sensing around ports, chokepoints and contested coastal zones.
