Founded in 2019 by entrepreneurs Prem Kumar, Sai Kumar, and Suraj Peddi, Marut Dronetech Pvt Ltd has emerged as a formidable player in the drone technology landscape.
With a focus on addressing some of the most pressing global challenges through drone technology, the company has built a remarkable portfolio of drones designed for a variety of applications, including agriculture, healthcare logistics, reforestation, and mosquito control.
The Challenge
In a world grappling with food security, environmental degradation, and public health threats, traditional methods in agriculture and healthcare are often inefficient and unsustainable.
With global population growth and climate change threatening to exacerbate these issues, innovative solutions are urgently needed.
Marut Dronetech recognized this gap and aimed to harness the transformative power of drone technology to enhance agricultural productivity, improve healthcare delivery, and promote environmental sustainability.
The Journey
From its inception in 2019, Marut Dronetech, focused on revolutionizing drone technology to address critical global challenges in agriculture, healthcare, and environmental sustainability.
The company aimed to bridge the gap between traditional practices and modern solutions.
Within a few short years, the company has made significant strides, producing over 180 drones in-house and testing them across more than 200,000 acres.
Marut Dronetech has forged partnerships with over 38 institutions and expanded its presence to more than 16 states across India.
This rapid growth underscores the company’s commitment to revolutionizing industries and fostering sustainable progress.
Marut Dronetech’s flagship product, the AG 365, is India’s first DGCA-certified multi-utility agriculture drone.
The AG 365 offers impressive features such as a 29.84 kg takeoff weight, 11-liter spray tank, 22 minutes of flight time, and the capability to cover 6 acres per hour.
It is designed to maximize efficiency in pesticide spraying and fertilizer broadcasting, thereby enhancing crop yields.
The Seedcopter, another innovative product, is dedicated to reforestation efforts, aiming to plant 1 billion trees by 2030 through its aerial seeding technology.
The initiative, dubbed Hara Bahara, seeks to combat deforestation and restore ecosystems affected by human activities.
Impact on Public Health and Safety
In addition to agricultural applications, Marut Dronetech is making strides in public health with its MarutZap drone, which focuses on targeted mosquito control.
By efficiently eliminating breeding grounds for mosquitoes, the drone aids in safeguarding communities from vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.
Another significant advancement is the Hepicopter, a drone designed to address healthcare challenges in underserved regions.
By bridging gaps in medical care delivery, the Hepicopter ensures access to life-saving treatments where they are needed most, thus contributing to better health outcomes.
Training the Next Generation
Recognizing the importance of skilled professionals in the drone industry, Marut Dronetech also invests in training aspiring drone pilots through its comprehensive programs.
With over 700 pilots trained, the company offers hands-on training with well-equipped labs, simulators, and individual flying lessons, ensuring that the next generation of drone operators is ready to meet the demands of this rapidly evolving field.
A Vision for the Future
Marut Dronetech Pvt Ltd stands at the forefront of drone technology, driven by a mission to leverage innovation for a sustainable future.
Their commitment to developing customized solutions not only boosts agricultural productivity and public health but also addresses urgent environmental challenges, such as deforestation and vector-borne diseases.
Looking ahead, Marut Dronetech is set to explore electric vertical take-off and landing (E-VTOL) aircraft in collaboration with SkyDrive, aiming to redefine air mobility in India.
This ambitious initiative promises to create seamless transportation experiences while further solidifying Marut’s role as a pioneer in advanced technology.
By integrating cutting-edge innovations with a focus on sustainability, Marut Dronetech envisions a future where drone technology plays a vital role in everyday life, connecting communities, improving accessibility, and fostering economic growth.
