Founded in May 2025 by two BTech students at BITS Pilani, Apollyon Dynamics develops high-speed unmanned aerial vehicles and kamikaze drones for defence applications. The company stunned Indian defence circles by building and supplying cutting-edge UAVs to the Indian Army within two months of launch and secured a contract to build kamikaze drones that exceed 300 kmph and carry 1-kg payloads. The team expanded from a two-member founding team and six interns to about 20 employees and established an on-campus office plus two manufacturing units within a 10-km radius. Apollyon has also built a mobile drone lab capable of producing more than 100 first-person-view drones per month for precision surveillance. The startup plans to invest in faster, more reliable systems and to set up in-house testing, iteration, and manufacturing capabilities while continuing to hire engineers.
