Armed with thermobaric rockets, grenade launchers and rifles fitted with infrared imaging systems, they hit six terrorist launchpads simultaneously and made it back without losing lives. The company’s tech took a circuitous route via the US Special Forces and Israeli Army before reaching Indian hands. Five countries were buying our tech before India bought from us," recalls Arvind Lakshmikumar, founder and CEO of Tonbo Imaging. The US, Israel and China have the most advanced defence tech but want to keep their strategic edge. Tonbo Imaging is currently upgrading imaging systems for the Jordanian army, a bid it won against established defence firms like Thales from Europe.
