There’s something in the air!

Join us for an uplifting afternoon of conversations and knowledge sharing on business opportunities with UAV experts, policy makers and technology providers!

We are increasingly seeing UAVs, popularly known as drones, in India emerge as the “Go To” technology partner and the value they bring is unparalleled both for military and civilian purposes. With an exponential growth in demand of drones in India, our intent is to bring the geospatial and UAV community together virtually for over three hours of live keynote sessions, moderated discussion panels, fireside chats and use cases. We will deliberate on the business opportunities through collaborations and partnerships with key organizations in major sectors, for drones resulting in lucrative value chain for the larger ecosystem.
