Garuda Aerospace Limited

Garuda Aerospace Limited is a Chennai-headquartered drone technology company started in 2015 by Agnishwar Jayaprakash and Rithika Mohan. It works across the design, manufacture and deployment of unmanned aerial systems, and runs a Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) model that touches agriculture, industrial operations, infrastructure, enterprise and defence. Its offerings range from precision-agriculture drones used for crop monitoring and pesticide spraying to industrial inspection and surveillance drones, aerial mapping, and pilot training delivered through a DGCA-approved Remote Pilot Training Organisation. The idea behind building cost-effective, technologically capable drones is to let organisations run more efficiently, operate more safely and lean on better data for decisions. The company's footprint has since widened well past agriculture into defence, logistics, disaster management, infrastructure inspection and public-sector work. Tie-ups with technology partners, government bodies and defence organisations have helped it carry out large-scale drone deployments across India, including disaster-relief and pandemic-response efforts. As one of the more visible names in India's fast-moving drone sector, Garuda has positioned itself around indigenous manufacturing and building out next-generation aerial capability at home.
