An India that builds its own flight-critical future.
An India where no defence, space or nuclear programme depends on a part the nation cannot make and certify at home: no foreign schedule, no foreign licence, no foreign price on a critical system.
About · Creation is in our DNA
. Sanskrit for "to create." . Defence. Nuclear. Aerospace.
Our name is our mandate. We exist to create, in metal and to the world's hardest standards, the components that India's most critical programmes have had to import for decades.
DEFENCE · NUCLEAR · AEROSPACE
Powder to qualified part, under one sovereign roof.
To build India's first fully integrated, aerospace-grade metal additive manufacturing platform: one that prints, finishes and certifies the hardest flight-critical parts end to end, and earns that trust audit by audit.
The opportunity
India designs world-class platforms. The hardest parts are still imported.
Indian aerospace, defence and nuclear programmes depend on flight-critical metal components that no domestic supplier can additively manufacture and certify end to end. Printing, heat treatment, precision machining and inspection sit with separate vendors, and qualification stalls in the handoffs.
Meanwhile, export controls and supplier nations can gate strategic parts on their schedule, not ours. The constraint has never been demand. It is certified, sovereign capability.
KRITTVA DNA exists to close that gap by bringing home a decade of proven US additive-manufacturing execution to build the country's first fully integrated Defence, Nuclear and Aerospace metal AM platform.
- The gap
- No Indian supplier runs print → heat-treat → machine → test under one certified roof WE WILL
- The policy
- Atmanirbhar Bharat rewards sovereign supply of critical hardware ALIGNED
- The technology
- Metal AM for Ti64 / IN718 is flight-qualified globally; the gap is Indian capacity PROVEN
- The team
- A founder who has built and certified metal AM to global standards, three times IN PLACE
Leadership
Led from the floor, not the boardroom.
Founder & CEO
Devak Kamath
A decade of focused metal additive manufacturing in the United States: building, validating and certifying AM operations for aerospace and medical programmes, from design through final inspection.
- 3 AM divisions built from scratch, the same build-from-zero KRITTVA demands
- $35M+ of NPI programmes delivered, orthopaedic and aerospace
- First-pass yield lifted 57% → 96%, machining time cut by half
- +63% printer productivity from in-house parameter development and powder-reuse discipline
- Led AS9100 and ISO 13485 certifications first-hand, including ITAR environments
- MS Mechanical Engineering, University of Houston · MBA, UPES
Backed by an advisory board of operators across manufacturing, capital and law, with technical seats across Defence, Nuclear and Aerospace being appointed.
How we work
The standards are the culture.
Sovereign by design
For India, by India, in India. Sovereign supply, India-made powder, ITAR-free, on rupee cost structures. Jai Hind.
Certified, or it doesn't ship
Quality gates everything. The audit trail is the product, not the paperwork, and no part ships before its certification does.
Proven execution over promises
We build from a decade of certified metal AM experience, not promises. If additive doesn't win on your part, we say so.
One roof, one accountability
Powder to qualified part, in-house under a single quality system and a single audit trail, so excellence survives any individual.
Help us build it.
We are assembling the team, partners and programmes for India's first fully integrated metal AM platform. If that mission speaks to you, talk to us.
