About SUIND
SUIND’s Bumblebee is a 10-litre agricultural spraying drone with Indian DGCA type certification. Vision-guided flight and onboard control maintain the route and application pattern over fields, with the company stating treatment rates of about one acre in six minutes and turnaround of under two minutes between sorties. The aircraft is designed for sustained daily spraying cycles.
Customers purchase the drone with operator training, service and access to agricultural subsidy routes, placing the system within a supported farm-equipment workflow. SUIND reports field use across rubber, sugarcane and banana cultivation, where terrain or crop height can make ground spraying difficult. The company is also developing WASP as a broader aircraft and autonomy platform for monitoring, inspection and intelligence missions. That work extends its perception and onboard decision stack beyond spraying while retaining the same focus on operations close to terrain and infrastructure.

The multirotor carries a 10-litre spray tank and supports up to 5 litres per minute of flow. Published autonomy functions include obstacle sensing, terrain following and autonomous canopy navigation. The product launch predates the July seed round and establishes Bumblebee as a commercial scale-up programme rather than a new concept.
