The fresh funding will be used for product development and capability building, along with strengthening the company’s core platforms, including first-person view drones, surveillance systems, and interceptor drones.
“GVFL’s backing is a strong vote of confidence in our vision to build drones that actually work in real combat situations. Our focus has always been to build trusted defence drones that soldiers can depend on when it matters most,” said Arth Chowdhary, co-founder and CEO of insideFPV.
The capital will also enable the startup to deepen its core engineering work and advance its defence drone platforms, with a focus on reliability in battlefield conditions.
Founded in 2020 in the aftermath of the Galwan clash, by Chowdhary, Deyvant Bhardwaj and Oshi Kumari, insideFPV was set up to address gaps in combat-ready indigenous drone systems in the homegrown defence sector.
“insideFPV represents the kind of deep-tech, mission-driven entrepreneurship that India urgently needs in the defence space,” said Mihir Joshi, managing director, GVFL.
The startup said its platforms have already been tested in extreme environments, including high-altitude operations with the Indian Army.
