Understanding Shipbuilding Industry from scratch ft. Ishmohit Arora (‪@SOICfinance‬ )

In this episode of Tangled In Thought, I and Ishmohit dive deep into a sector that is often overlooked but critical for national security and trade - Shipbuilding. From the geopolitical necessity of a "Blue Water Navy" to the nuts and bolts of how a ship is actually built, we cover it all. We discuss why the government is shifting its defense budget heavily towards the Navy, the difference between PSU and private shipyards, and the "proxy" industries that supply everything from radars to HVAC systems. If you are looking to understand the mechanics, financials, and investment opportunities in the Indian shipbuilding ecosystem, this episode is for you.
