Every two years since 1996, Aero India Show brings added reverberation into Bangalore skies. Started by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) as a platform for governments and aerospace industries to network and showcase their wares across the world, Aero India is the country’s largest military aerospace event. However, given the fact that many aerospace companies span both military and civilian products, there is a civilian element too at the show.
Hundreds of global entities descend upon Air Force Station, Yelahanka, the venue of the event, and people of Bengaluru get an enviable opportunity to witness some world class aerobatics teams, get close glimpses of aircraft not normally seen in Indian skies, and revel in the good fortune to take selfies with all kinds of aircraft and equipment.
Aero India 2015 was highlighted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s presence to inaugurate the show; inevitably, the observant would discern in his presence the motive of promoting his ‘Make in India’ impetus.
However, the lacklustre response the campaign has drawn so far from international entities are a bleak indication of how much enthusiasm may be manifest during the show about the slogan and the sentiment behind it. Perhaps, there has not been adequate change brought about by Modi in the business environment in India to alter the perceptions of foreign entities.
