Australia has spotlighted Maharashtra as a rising powerhouse in India’s defence, aerospace, and maritime industries, with strategic cities Pune and Mumbai taking centre stage.
To deepen bilateral engagement, Austrade’s Trade Commissioner Nathan Davis and Business Development Director Lt Cdr Bidisha Pandey (Retd) recently led a targeted outreach initiative across the region.

The team connected with leading Indian stakeholders, including SAGE Automation, Max-Link Adventure Sports Club Pvt. Ltd., Bharat Forge Ltd, Larsen & Toubro, Elcome Integrated Systems Pvt. Ltd., Avisa Strategic Solutions LLP, and ITUS Sports and Safety Private Limited.

These engagements aimed to foster meaningful relationships and gain deeper insight into local market needs, paving the way for high-impact collaboration between Indian and Australian firms.

“There is a shared vision to co-develop cutting-edge, future-ready solutions, and Indian industry leaders have shown strong enthusiasm to partner with Australia,” Austrade stated on LinkedIn.

This initiative is seen as laying the groundwork for long-term strategic partnerships that could drive innovation and unlock new growth in critical sectors.
