Raphe mPhibr is a Noida-based drone startup that designs and manufactures a range of UAVs for military and border-surveillance customers. The company offers nine drone platforms with payloads from 4.4 to 441 pounds and ranges averaging 12 to 124 miles, including multicopters, fixed-wing and VTOL designs such as the mR10 swarm, mR20 logistics resupply, X8 maritime platform, and the Bharat man-carried drone. It produces most components domestically—flight controllers, batteries, structures, autopilots, and inertial navigation systems—while currently importing radars and high-end cameras that it plans to manufacture in-house within 18 months. Raphe mPhibr employs about 600 people, has more than 10 Indian government agency customers (Army, Navy, Air Force, BSF, CRPF, ITBP), and sold over 300 drones in the past 12 months. The company expanded its facilities from an initial 2,000-square-foot lab to a 650,000-square-foot combined research and manufacturing site following the latest funding. It uses AI for object detection, adaptive frequency switching for electronic-warfare resilience, and swarm intelligence, and has partnerships with Hensoldt, Safran, and Dassault Systèmes for sensors and simulation. Financially, the startup reported up to 4x revenue growth over four years, has been profitable each of the last four years, and projects an IPO within two to five years.
