Our story
Yottec began in 2008 building test and measurement instrumentation — the rigs, benches and calibration facilities that India’s aerospace and defence laboratories use to prove their own systems. It is unglamorous work, and it teaches you exactly how hardware fails.
That grounding turned into products. Underwater acoustic modems, because the imported ones were expensive and tuned for the wrong ocean. High-altitude logistics drones, because resupplying a forward post should not cost lives.
Today Yottec Systems Pvt. Ltd. operates from Bengaluru with engineering centres in Kochi and Chandigarh, and around 100 in-house specialists across systems design, hardware, embedded software, mechanical engineering and integration.
“To be the partner of choice for the defence fraternity, by being the most progressive, technology focused and committed engineering organization.”
“To develop & deliver innovations, technologies and solutions that enable our clients & partners to advance from the use of it, while forging lasting relationships through awareness and ownership.”
Leadership
Founder-led, with more than 70 years of combined experience in strategy, governance and defence engineering.
