- Headline: Drone company building indigenous tactical FPV drones for defense, police, and paramilitary customers; currently seeking investment.
- Product lineup: Tactical FPV strike/ISR drones (Advik, Trikaal, Tez) for rapid-deploy missions; kamikaze & interceptor drones for point-defence and neutralisation; surveillance ISR drones (Elevate Z1, T1, V1) with thermal and zoom cameras; agricultural spray drone (Krishi Karma); and Drone Experience Arenas plus pilot/unit training.
- Customers & contracts: Active deployments with 25+ Army regiments, police and paramilitary units, pipeline of INR 25 cr+ and an MoU with Israel’s UAV Dynamix for 10,000 drones.
- Traction & credibility: 5,000+ drones sold, 35 Drone Arenas operational, wins including Army Him-Dronathon (17,000 ft), media coverage (Shark Tank India, TEDx, KBC, Zee TV) and Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2024.
- Technology & IP: 26 patents filed (8 granted) demonstrating proprietary drone tech, with NABL-certified testing and multi-terrain validation from -20°C to 50°C for rugged defense performance.

- Team & capacity: 40 employees with manufacturing scalability through partnerships, enabling rapid scale-up for mass production and fulfilment of large defense orders.
- Revenue drivers & monetization: Hardware sales (tactical, kamikaze, ISR, agri-drones), recurring revenue from training, maintenance, software/firmware updates, and large-volume MoU/contract fulfilments.
