Who We Are

Vayukah is a UAS/RPAS (Drone) manufacturing startup based in the Sunrise state of Andhra Pradesh. We strive to build reliable, efficient, compliant and user friendly enterprise drones with a strong focus on quality, technology and usability.

We focus on strong innovation in engineering and system integration that aims to achieve large scale manufacturing of drones in India. Our drones are DGCA compliant and can be registered to generate a UIN number.

We design, build and test our drones using a combination of software design, simulation and rapid prototyping. These expertise are built in-house by our engineers using a combination of software and hardware systems.

The amalgamation of the software ecosystem and robust hardware is our unique proposition — a complete end-to-end drone solution for survey, mapping and inspection.
