Big Bang Boom Solutions (BBB) is India’s first “Defence Dragon” — a profitable deep-tech defense contractor founded in 2018 by Dr. R. Shivaraman and Praveen Dwarakanath in Chennai. The company has rapidly emerged as a trusted partner to the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, with a portfolio of 10 development contracts under the iDEX program and long-term procurement agreements exceeding $40 million. BBB specializes in cutting-edge innovations across Electronic Warfare, Artificial Intelligence, and Nanotechnology, offering advanced solutions such as anti-drone systems, radar cloaks, AI-based simulators, non-lethal naval deterrents, autonomous drones, and containerized shooting ranges. These systems have been developed in-house and are actively deployed across the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and leading Defence Public Sector Units. With a strong focus on indigenous R&D and manufacturing, BBB has successfully completed three iDEX projects and is a key contributor to India's drive for defence self-reliance. In January 2025, BBB became the first iDEX startup to export defence systems to a Friendly Foreign Country, marking a major milestone in India's defence exports. The company has raised over $30 million in funding, delivering a 15x ROI to early investors, and continues to scale operations through strategic expansion in domains such as Space and Nuclear Technologies. BBB remains committed to the vision of “Make in India, Make for the World.”
