Shaping the Future of Drones in India
summary
A company returns to India after a family emergency and builds long-distance logistics drones, three distinct airframe patterns plus scanning and crop‑health models, and opens a pilot training centre that trains rural women who then lease drones to farmers. Programs use India’s Drone Didi 80% subsidy and a 20% noncollateral loan at ~2–3% interest. Drones perform farm scanning for crop and soil health, cut blanket pesticide spraying, and are already operating in Maharashtra with government district partnerships.
