ideaForge

ideaForge Official ideaForge page ideaForge is the pioneer and the pre-eminent market leader in the Indian unmanned aircraft systems (“UAS”) market.

In India, the company has the largest operational deployment of indigenous UAVs, with an ideaForge-manufactured drone taking off every five minutes for surveillance and mapping. Our customers have completed over 500,000 flights using our UAVs. We ranked 5th globally in the dual-use category (civil and defense) drone manufacturers as per the report published by Drone Industry Insights in December 2

023. ideaForge UAVs are equipped with industry-leading specifications and capabilities that are comparable to those of other well-established global players in the UAV industry. Our indigenous design and technological ability to invent, design, and deliver customer-centric offerings enable us to design, develop, engineer, and manufacture our UAVs in-house while maintaining control over performance, reliability, and autonomy. ideaForge's UAV platforms are designed with a 'mission first' approach, i.e., to deliver UAVs that meet our customers' needs and that, we believe, can reliably sustain a large number of flights and can be operated autonomously without special skills or training. In addition to being one of the first few players in India to enter the UAV market, ideaForge was the first company in India to develop and manufacture vertical take-off and landing ("VTOL") UAVs in 2009. The company has industry-leading product portfolios aimed at civil and defense applications (dual use).

As global supply chains face increasing volatility, is emerging as a defining competitive advantage for manufacturers.

In his latest opinion piece on Manufacturing Today, our CFO, Vipul Joshi explores why resilience today must go beyond products and extend across , capital planning, operations, and talent.

Because in deep-tech, the organisations built to withstand turbulence are the ones that continue to perform through it.

Last week, our Associate Director, Marketing, Kruthi Aramanamada, participated in Karnataka’s high-level drone industry consultation led by Shri. Priyank Kharge, Hon’ble Minister, Electronics, IT/BT, and Rural Development & Panchayat Raj, Govt. of Karnataka, alongside Drone Federation India and key ecosystem stakeholders.

The discussions reflected strong intent towards strengthening India’s through enabling infrastructure, policy support, and faster pathways for real-world deployment.

A key highlight was the proposed development of a dedicated flight testing facility near airport, starting with 10 acres, alongside discussions around skilling, regulatory enablement, and accelerating drone adoption across sectors.

We also welcome the vision for a Drone Festival / Drone Grand Prix to showcase emerging technologies, encourage ecosystem collaboration, and build wider public engagement around the sector.

As the industry evolves, continued collaboration between government, startups, manufacturers, and ecosystem partners will remain critical in positioning as a leading hub for , testing, and deployment in India.

Some moments leave a lasting impact on a nation and shape the resolve to build for it.

On National Anti-Terrorism Day, we remember the lives impacted by acts of terror and honour the courage of those who continue to stand in the service of the nation.

At ideaForge, our commitment to building indigenous technology has always been rooted in strengthening preparedness, supporting those who safeguard our borders, and contributing towards a safer, self-reliant Bharat.

Jai Hind.

Strengthening global partnerships for the future of advanced unmanned systems.

We recently hosted a delegation from the British High Commission in India comprising representatives from leading UK defence and technology companies, at our hangar for a strategic exchange on next-generation unmanned systems and Indo-UK collaboration.

Kruthi Aramanamada, our Associate Director, Marketing, walked the delegation through ideaForge's vision and global roadmap, while Major Laxmikantha S (Retd) and Prateek Iyengar led platform demonstrations of our new-age UAV platforms including , , and .

The discussions explored Indo-UK collaboration opportunities, aligned with the growing momentum around the UK-India Defence Industrial Roadmap.

The modern battlespace is no longer defined only by terrain - but by the electromagnetic spectrum.

UAV series is engineered to operate in complex and contested environments, where reliable ISR, resilient communications, and rapid deployment can directly influence mission outcomes.

With extended endurance, persistent aerial intelligence, and EW-resilient architecture, Q6 UAVs are built to support missions where operational continuity matters most.

As operating environments evolve, mission-ready systems must evolve with them.

Every tells a story.

Some are stories of survival.

From mitigating human-wildlife conflict and detecting forest fires to supporting anti-poaching operations and habitat surveillance, technology is reshaping how teams protect vulnerable ecosystems.

Across Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Assam, Telangana, and Karnataka, our next-gen UAVs have supported critical and forestry missions - enabling early threat detection, faster response, and improved situational awareness in challenging terrain.

This , we celebrate the people and missions working tirelessly to safeguard the wild.

operations generate some of the most complex terrain challenges in any industry. Active extraction changes surface geometry continuously, waste dumps shift, voids deepen, and closure planning demands volume accuracy that conventional surveying cannot reliably deliver at scale.

Aerial mapping gives mining and reclamation teams centimetre-accurate terrain data across active pits, waste dumps, and closure zones, supporting extraction planning, regulatory compliance, and land restoration with -grade confidence.

With integrated with payloads and insights delivered on , ideaForge's aerial LiDAR solution brings high-density point cloud data to every phase of the mining lifecycle.

Managing at large public events like and demands a level of visibility that ground teams alone cannot provide.

Last year at Pandharpur Wari, our monitored 2.73 million devotees in real time, tracking crowd density across every corner and averting three high-risk situations before they could escalate.

This is what aerial intelligence makes possible - and brings it to any large civic event, on demand. No drone to buy. No pilot to hire.
