Bengaluru's innovative startup Pravaig is making waves with its trailblazing creation, the VEER, an all-terrain stealth vehicle specifically engineered for tactical defense operations. Hailed as the world's first operational electric vehicle (EV) in the military sector, VEER has successfully passed rigorous trials and secured the prestigious iDEX award from India's Ministry of Defence.

Marking a significant milestone in achieving strategic autonomy, Pravaig, along with its subsidiary Atima Corporation, has been recognized by the Defence Innovation Organisation under the Department of Defence Production.
