The IIT Delhi startup SWATRIC has designed many fabric structures for the monumental national flag, which have been installed in different parts of the country by the Flag Foundation of India for assessing the durability of the flag and its ability to sustain damage due to harsh climatic and geographical conditions of different places.
SWATRIC partnered with FFI in 2021 to develop a stronger fabric for monumental national flags so that the flags can survive without any damage in India’s diverse climatic and geographical conditions.
