RRP S4E Innovation Ltd and Optix Bulgaria Forge Strategic Partnership to Strengthen ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ Vision

Mumbai, India – June 21, 2025 – In a landmark move that underscores India‘s vision of self-reliance and indigenous defence manufacturing, RRP S4E Innovation Ltd, a fast-growing Indian electro-optics company, is set to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Optix Bulgaria, global pioneers in advanced electro-optics solutions.

The MoU, to be formalized on June 20, marks a historic moment for RRP S4E Innovation Ltd, paving the way for the Transfer of Technology (ToT) for a new generation of cutting-edge defence products, including:

Ultra Lightweight Thermal Sights
Extended Long-Range Surveillance Systems
Handheld Thermal Imagers (HHTIs)

Optix Bulgaria brings deep expertise, having mastered all its product offerings through in-house R&D. Their innovations are battle-tested and globally respected. With this collaboration, the companies aim to introduce advanced thermal technologies never before deployed in the field — offering high performance at a competitive cost.

Over 300 thermal sights are already deployed at strategic locations, with Optix’s flagship product ‘Diana’ recognized as a game-changer in electro-optics. These innovations will now be adapted for Indian needs, providing practical, frontline solutions to real battlefield challenges.

“This is more than a partnership — it’s a transformational moment for both companies,” said Georgy Kosturkov, CEO of Optix Bulgaria. “Our technologies and RRP’s deep understanding of the Indian defence ecosystem create a lethal combination with unmatched potential.”

Since its inception in 2018, RRP S4E Innovation Ltd has committed itself to developing products that meet the standards of the Make in India initiative. Supported early on by the Maharashtra Defence and Aerospace Venture Fund, under the leadership of Vice President Amey Belorkar, RRP quickly established a robust infrastructure, enabling MSMEs and entrepreneurs to scale bold ideas.

“We began with a vision, and today we are proud to hold four patents and a rapidly growing product line,” said Rajendra Chodankar, Founder and Chairman of RRP S4E Innovation Ltd. “With the strategic handholding of Optix Bulgaria, the sky is truly the limit. This partnership opens doors to mega opportunities that transcend borders.”

RRP has recently clocked ₹61.58 crores in revenue, with strong Profit After Tax (PAT) margins. With projections of exponential year-on-year growth, the company is confidently eyeing the ₹500 crore milestone in the near future.
