However, with the ‘Make in India’ and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives gaining ground, Indian startups are turning self-sufficient.  Following these ideologies, Kochi-based AI Aerial Dynamics is manufacturing indigenous UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). The dronetech startup is offering its products at a better cost to consumers.  Founded by college friends Vishnu V Nath, M Rubin Ray, Denny Poulose, and Sujai KJ, AI Aerial Dynamics was incubated at the Maker Village, Kochi, in 2019, and the company was registered in January, 2020.  Eureka moment Vishnu, 31, holds a PhD in Aerial Robotics from CTU, Gujarat. He conceived this idea during his college days, in 2015. “The initial design was implemented as my BTech project and later others joined the group,” he says. Starting as a hobby to build remote controlled aircrafts, the team, having successfully tested the UAVs, designed a business plan and started the company.  Vishnu, who is currently the CTO at AI Aerial Dynamics, previously worked with the Kerala State Departments of Police, Forest, Archaeology, and Disaster Management on case studies to implement UAVs in the respective departments.  Rubin Ray, 31, is an MTech graduate, and focuses on Machine Learning System Architect. He previously worked with Tata Elxsi. Sujai, 32, is currently pursuing MBA and is the CEO of the startup. Denny, 29, on the other hand, is the Director at AI Aerial Dynamics. The startup currently has a team of eight employees. The founding team at AI Aerial Dynamics | Source: AI Aerial Dynamics
