Indian drone technology has surged in the past decade, particularly post-pandemic, as stated by IdeaForge CEO Ankit Mehta. IdeaForge, ranking fifth globally, is now entering the competitive U.S. drone market, offering unique capabilities amidst China’s declining drone sales.
Acknowledging India’s supportive environment, Mehta highlights the sector’s exponential growth during the pandemic, driving increased drone adoption. Amid relaxed regulations and government incentives, the Indian drone industry thrives, offering diverse applications from traffic management to border security.
IdeaForge’s breakthrough product, Netra V 4 Pro, exemplifies India’s drone innovation, providing unmatched flying time and payload capacity. Mehta’s U.S. tour aims to introduce their cutting-edge technology and gather real-world feedback for further enhancements.
With extensive experience and successful missions in India, IdeaForge seeks to leverage its expertise to address U.S. market demands. Mehta emphasizes the need for sustained investment and regulatory support to propel India’s drone ecosystem to global prominence.
