About Garuda Aerospace
Garuda Aerospace’s portfolio includes agricultural spraying and crop-monitoring aircraft, mapping systems, surveillance platforms and drones for inspection, delivery and public-sector use. The Kisan Agri Drone is paired with payloads and operating procedures for spraying, seeding and farm assessment, while other configurations support surveying, infrastructure inspection and security missions.
The company combines equipment manufacturing with drone-as-a-service operations. Customers can contract a mission rather than purchase an aircraft, with Garuda providing the pilot, planning, flight execution and processed output. Its operating model also includes remote-pilot training organisations, dealer and service networks and software for fleet and mission management. This gives the company several routes to market across direct sales, contracted services, training and local operating partners.
