Indian Startup DroneAcharya Joins DLE

27 JULY 2022,

PUNE, INDIA- Drone Logistics Ecosystem (DLE) is welcoming onboard DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations as its latest member. The Indian government has taken encouraging initiatives in its efforts to transform the country into a Global Drone Hub by 2030 by leveraging all DaaS capabilities, i.e., infrastructure management, smart agriculture, drone delivery and so on. Being a part of the Indian drone ecosystem, DroneAcharya boasts of a team of seasoned individuals emerging from various backgrounds with the aim to ‘Give wings to the Indian Skies.’ Backed by some of the most experienced Drone and GIS Gurus, DroneAcharyans are continuously striving towards training and bringing in innovative solutions for every industry. As DroneAcharya explores different types of hardware and use cases for drone deliveries, AirGo’s DroneBox - an ultralight and sturdy drone supply container developed using superior materials within the aerospace industry, could enable safer and assured deliveries for multiple case studies. DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations has partnered with one of DLE members TSAW Drones to test delivery drones in multiple industries.

“Drone Delivery, once perceived as a futuristic solution, is very much a reality today. From the delivery of vaccines and blood samples to becoming a vital source of hope during rescue missions, this technology has opened multiple doors for optimizing the Unmanned platform exponentially. Having worked in drone mapping and 3D modelling projects in the last few years, DroneAcharya is now testing all applications related to drone delivery with industrial leaders. Their objective is to mobilize businesses to actively use drones in planning, operations, and maintenance projects. “Becoming a part of the Drone Logistics Ecosystem (DLE) will enable DroneAcharya to collaborate with companies all over the world and have access to global technologies, partners, and talent. Being a staunch believer of collaborative and organic growth, DroneAcharya’s vision majorly overlaps with DLE’s way of functioning,” says Prateek Srivastava, Founder and CEO of DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations.

About Drone Logistics Ecosystem™

DLE is a global/virtual network of Companies, Universities, the Public/Governments, and Investors operating in the drone logistics industry. The aim of the DLE is to bring together stakeholders to collaborate to stimulate standardization in this rapidly emerging industry. Hence, accelerating cross-border marketing and commercialization of products and services of its members . Since most of the companies in this industry are early-stage start-ups with limited access to funding, manpower and expertise, DLE is the ideal platform for companies to share their expertise to co-develop products and services and/or acquire necessary cross-border market access in partnership with other members.

In one year, DLE has expanded to include 44 organizations, consisting of 41 companies, 2 universities and world's largest drone association, Japan UAS Industrial Development Association, across 21 different countries. In a short period of time, we have been able to generate several international proof-of-concept projects with a few commercialization prospects in the pipeline. The pandemic has restricted our movement and DLE has been a great tool for our members to streamline communication and product development. We are in the process to create a commercialization model to help our members reach the market faster in partnership with other members.
