Vayudh, a defence arm of IIT Delhi-based BotLab Dynamics, has developed nano surveillance drones for the Indian armed forces. Founded in 2016 by Tanmay Bunkar, Anuj Barnwal, and Dr Sarita Ahlawat, the company has raised ₹83.5 crore ($10 million) for its defence initiatives. Key investors include Dharana Capital and Deepinder Goyal.
The company's flagship product, the Atri nano drone, is designed for precision reconnaissance in high-risk environments and can be quickly deployed to monitor routes that forces need to watch.
