This latest funding round signals strong investor confidence in TechEagle's vision of revolutionising last-mile delivery across India. With the backing of industry veterans like Tushar Jani (co-founder of BlueDart Express) and Ajoy Khanderia (founder of Gramin Healthcare), the company is well-positioned to scale its operations nationwide.

TechEagle specialises in Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations, utilising its fleet of Made in India drones to execute autonomous deliveries. The company has already made significant inroads, boasting an impressive clientele that includes prestigious institutions like AIIMS, various state governments, and even the World Bank.

“Our vision at TechEagle is to revolutionise last-mile logistics with indigenous drone technology," says Vikram Singh Meena, Founder & CEO of TechEagle. He emphasises the company's focus on expanding operations, launching higher payload drones, and solidifying its position as a leader in the Indian drone logistics landscape.
