Israeli technology firms with reported links to Israel’s military operations in Gaza are due to attend business events in Hyderabad and Bengaluru in November, where they can seek partnerships with Indian companies. The visits matter amid scrutiny of India’s growing technology and security ties with Israel, including concerns about the use of Israeli surveillance tools by Indian authorities.

Twenty Israeli firms are expected at a T-Hub start-up event in Hyderabad on 16 November, followed by 25 at the Bengaluru Tech Summit from 17 to 19 November. The article names drone maker XTEND, military equipment supplier Dagan-Optics and sensor maker Netzer Precision among companies with military connections.
