SP’s: Please tell us about how AWEIL has grown since being established in 2021? Choudhary:

I am happy to say that post-corporatisation, AWEIL has been granted sufficient autonomy and flexibility to make decisions. This enables us to respond quickly to changing defence requirements and market dynamics, fostering agility and innovation. It is also helpful in strategic decision-making, accountability, and ensuring transparency in operation.
