About the Workplace
Defence Reimagined is a strategic media and knowledge platform working at the intersection of India's defence, technology and policy landscape. We publish long-form video, social content, research booklets and industry-facing explainers, and we convene senior practitioners from the Armed Forces, the scientific establishment, industry and government through our dialogue platforms.
We are a small team of dynamic individuals who work closely together. There is no layer between you and the work — you will sit in on the thinking, not just receive a brief at the end of it. Decisions are made quickly and in the open, ownership is real rather than nominal, and we default to shipping rather than circulating things for approval. If you do good work, it goes out.
