Business Overview
- We are currently developing a made-in-India spider camera system designed for aerial cinematography in sports, live events, and studio environments.
- At present, this segment is dominated globally by a few players, and their systems are primarily offered on a rental basis due to high costs. This creates a clear market gap for a more affordable and indigenous alternative, which we aim to address.
- Our vision is to design and manufacture the entire system in India, including both hardware and software.
- Select critical components such as servo motors and controllers will be sourced from Germany. The system will also incorporate advanced features such as LiDAR-based obstacle detection and no-fly zone creation, enhancing safety and automation.
- The system has applications beyond cricket, including football, kabaddi, tennis, large-scale live events, concerts, and studio productions. It can replace traditional camera systems such as cranes, dollies, and jibs. Additionally, a compact version is planned for studio use, opening a new segment in the production market.
- From a business perspective, the model is highly attractive as the industry primarily operates on rentals, enabling early revenue generation once the system is deployed.
- Our planned revenue model includes both equipment rentals and outright sales of the product, allowing flexibility for different customer needs and maximizing market penetration.
- There is also strong potential for national events as well as international markets, where cost-effective alternatives are in demand.
- The design is completed, the core algorithm is ready, and the power management system (POM) is in place. The next stage involves software development and full system integration.

We plan a two-phase approach:
- Phase 1: Development of a working prototype (Estimated investment: ₹2.5 crore, timeline: 6 months) – this is the current funding round.
- Phase 2: Post successful pilot and demonstration, particularly targeting key stakeholders such as BCCI and major sporting bodies, we plan to scale manufacturing to approximately 10 systems (Estimated investment: ₹20 crore)

- We are also planning a demonstration to key stakeholders, including potential deployment opportunities in major leagues such as the IPL, with a single order potential estimated at ₹10 crore+ per system.
- The promoter brings prior experience in advanced engineering product development, including a patented containerized advanced shooting range system with two granted patents. With a background in electronics engineering and hands-on product development experience, the focus has always been on practical innovation, cost efficiency, and scalable engineering solutions.
- This project is not just about building a product—it is about creating a globally competitive, high-technology system from India that can redefine aerial cinematography in sports and live entertainment.
- The project is currently not formally registered and will be incorporated post fundraise, prior to commercial launch.
Products & Services Overview
- Designing and manufacturing of an advanced spider camera system for aerial cinematography used in sports, live events, and studio environments.
- The system is targeted at broadcasters, sports leagues, event production companies, and studio producers who require dynamic aerial camera coverage for high-profile applications such as cricket, football, kabaddi, tennis, concerts, and large-scale live events.
- Also suitable for studio productions through a compact version of the system.
- The solution will be primarily offered on a rental basis, allowing clients to deploy the system for specific events without high capital expenditure, while also enabling potential outright sales for select customers seeking permanent installations.
