Overview
ZERODRAG develops core UAV avionics and sub-components including autopilots, motor controllers, GNSS modules, telemetry systems, and payload integration systems. The company was co-founded in 2022 by Amit Nimje and Shantanu Bhede and is based in Nagpur. It recently raised Rs 6.5 Cr in a seed round led by Transition VC to bolster R&D, scale manufacturing, strengthen testing and quality infrastructure, and stabilize its supply chain. ZERODRAG plans to use the funding to accelerate next‑generation UAV avionics and, within 12–24 months, expand into enterprise‑grade hardware such as heavy‑lift drones and future eVTOL platforms. It competes with established component providers like Holybro, Caddx, SpeedyBee, and HGLRC.
