Tim Draper-backed Bon V Aero launches logistics drone
Venture capitalist Tim Draper-backed deep tech startup Bon V Aero on Monday announced the launch of a fully autonomous logistics drone Air Orca to cater to the requirements across sectors such as healthcare, ecommerce, military logistics and disaster management on a global scale.
With advanced autonomous capabilities and fully designed, developed and manufactured in India by Bon V Aero, the drone is engineered to tackle diverse logistical challenges, particularly in regions where traditional transportation methods are impractical, the company said.
This launch underlines the growing role of Odisha-based companies in India's technology ecosystem and demonstrates how localised innovation is gaining national and international recognition, Bon V Aero said.
«Developing and manufacturing this drone indigenously has allowed us to tailor it for India's specific needs. Tim Draper's support strengthens the impact of this launch, and we're grateful for his involvement as we aim to extend Air Orca's benefits to both civilian and defence applications across India,» said Satyabrata Sathapathy, CEO of Bon V Aero.
The drone is designed to serve as a first responder in post-disaster scenarios, delivering relief supplies to affected areas and providing critical support during emergencies. Its high-altitude capabilities make it suitable for military logistics operations in challenging terrains, including the Himalayan region, the company said.
