Idea Forge overview

ideaForge is the pioneer and the pre-eminent market leader in the Indian unmanned aircraft systems (“UAS”) market. We had the largest operational deployment of indigenous UAVs across India, with an ideaForge manufactured drone taking off every five minutes for surveillance and mapping on an average. Our customers have completed over 600,000 flights using our UAVs. We ranked 3rd globally in the dual-use category (civil and defense) drone manufacturers as per the report published by Drone Industry Insights in December 2024.

Our UAVs are equipped with industry leading specifications and capabilities, comparable to those of other established global players in the UAV industry. Our capabilities like our indigenous design and technological ability to invent, design and deliver customer centric offerings allow us to design, develop, engineer and manufacture our UAVs in-house with a control on performance, reliability and autonomy.

Our UAV platforms are architected with a ‘mission first’ approach i.e., to deliver UAVs which meet the requirements of our customers and which, we believe, can reliably sustain a large number of flights and are capable of being autonomously operated without special skills or training. In addition to being among the first few players in India to enter the UAV market, we also have the distinction of being the first company to indigenously develop and manufacture vertical take-off and landing (“VTOL”) UAVs in India in 2009. We have industry’s leading product portfolios targeted at civil and defence applications (dual use).

Built on a strong foundation of interdisciplinary engineering, ideaForge endeavors to push the envelope of UAV technology and drive its adoption to help maximize our impact in enhancing productivity and security for our customers and brining joy to the ideaForge family.
