The drone ecosystem in India is still nascent, but Bengaluru-based VFLYX has already made its mark among the early movers. Founded in 2021, this startup builds UAVs for different use cases. These include agricultural ops (spraying and seeding), mining activities (surveying, inventory tracking, stockpile estimation and more), air cargo services, mapping, surveillance and inspection.
Approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), these drones have a maximum payload of 16 kg, can fly up to 50 minutes, have a battery capacity of 13,000 mAh and feature ultra HD cameras for video and pictures.
