Karman Drones

Karman Drones designs, builds and deploys unmanned aerial vehicles for defence, homeland security and commercial customers, with a focus on high-performance, all-weather autonomous systems that can work in harsh conditions.

Its range includes long-endurance surveillance drones, loitering munitions and FPV tactical drones. It also offers drone services, in-house tracking systems and ground control stations, making it a full-stack UAV provider for defence and industrial clients.

We invested in Karman Drones for several reasons together. It offers a full stack of UAV products and services, from surveillance drones and loitering munitions to tracking systems and ground control stations, built for demanding defence and industrial use. It has demonstrated its technology through successful deployments, holds industry-standard certifications, and has strategic partnerships for mass production and R&D. Its leadership combines over 10 years in large business-to-government projects, systems engineering experience from Germany, and cross-border trade experience.

The company also operates in a fast-growing market. India’s drone market is projected to grow from ₹77,300 crore in 2024 to over ₹2,95,000 crore by 2030, driven by demand in defence, commercial, homeland security and counter-drone segments.
