Leadership
A team of innovators, industrialists, and advisors united by one mission — to place India at the forefront of global defence manufacturing.
"India has every capability to be a global arms exporter. We are not building a company — we are building an institution that will define India's defence manufacturing legacy for the next 50 years."
— Ashutosh Sharma, Founder | Xpredator Arms & Ammunitions
Board of Directors
A seasoned entrepreneur and business leader from Kota, Rajasthan, Devesh Pathak brings over 15 years of hands-on business leadership to Xpredator's board. Over his career, he has built and scaled enterprises to remarkable heights — consistently demonstrating the ability to navigate complex markets, build operational infrastructure, and drive sustainable growth in high-pressure environments.
As Director of Xpredator, Devesh brings the operational discipline and strategic business instinct that every high-growth manufacturing startup requires to bridge the gap between vision and execution. His track record of building businesses from the ground up makes him an indispensable force in Xpredator's leadership architecture.
Expert Advisory Panel
In defence manufacturing, credibility is built on the strength of the institutions behind you. Xpredator is backed by two of India's most experienced financial and legal advisory firms — providing institutional-grade governance from day one.
One of India's most trusted chartered accountancy and financial advisory firms with over two decades of deep practice in corporate finance, taxation strategy, statutory compliance, and fundraising structuring. Mittal Dharma & Associates brings institutional financial discipline that gives every investor in Xpredator the assurance that capital is being deployed, tracked, and reported with complete precision and transparency.
Their oversight of Xpredator's financial architecture — from fund utilisation models to investor reporting — ensures that every rupee raised is deployed with the rigour expected at the highest levels of institutional investment.
Kaushik Associates stands among India's leading law firms with over 30 years of distinguished legal practice and a presence across courts and regulatory bodies throughout the country. Their leadership in Indian law — spanning corporate, regulatory, and constitutional practice — places them among the most respected legal institutions advising defence and industrial enterprises.
In the highly regulated world of arms manufacturing, legal counsel is not a support function — it is a strategic asset. Kaushik Associates navigates MHA licensing, DPIIT compliance, SCOMET export regulations, patent protection, and complex JV legal structures with the authority that comes from 30 years at the forefront of Indian legal practice.
