The Defense Services have always been a source of highly trained and educated manpower for the Industry. Today, many major corporate have absorbed huge numbers of defense personnel after their retirement. Opening up of defense production to the private sector by the Government of India has further added demand for the retired service personnel. Having deep knowledge on various defense equipment and technologies and related procurement procedures, these service personnel are a valuable resource for any company, which is looking for an opening in the Defense Sector.
