DRDO Awards Mangaluru Startup Zupple Labs Project To Develop Defence Blockchain Security Standards

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has awarded Mangaluru-based Zupple Labs a project to develop security analysis and auditing standards for blockchain applications designed for defence use. The project, titled Security Analysis and Auditing of Blockchain, comes under DRDO’s Technology Development Fund programme, with its Scientific Analysis Group serving as the nodal laboratory.

Led by co-founder and CEO Neil Kevin Martis, Zupple Labs will work on a standardised framework to assess blockchain applications before their deployment in sensitive government and defence systems. Potential use cases include secure supply-chain tracking and the management of critical records, highlighting the growing role of Indian deeptech startups in strategic technology development.
