Electric motors are the main component of a drone; all other elements, such as the frame, battery, and flight controller, serve to maintain their rotation at the required speed. The motor determines the duration of the aircraft's flight, its payload capacity, and the reliability of task execution, making it a critically important part.
Currently, India does not produce this component domestically to a significant extent. The company notes that over 90% of unmanned aerial vehicle drives in the country are imported, forcing Indian drone manufacturers to pay import prices, wait long delivery times, and be unable to order motors that meet their specific technical requirements.
Iindepro Dynamics was established in Rajkot in April 2023 with the goal of supplying this component to the domestic market. The founders of the company are Jaydip Viramgam and Parag Jobanputra. The choice of Rajkot as a base is unusual, as the city is known as an established center for mechanical engineering and casting, specializing in machine tools and automotive components, rather than the aerospace industry.
The company focuses its activities on the concept of 'indigenization'—a term often used in Indian defense and drone manufacturing to denote the replacement of imported components with domestic alternatives. Iindepro produces brushless DC motors, which are used in the vast majority of electric drones. Their developments include various configurations, such as coaxial motors, where two rotors are placed on a common axis, and an axial flow architecture, which the company calls proprietary.
The technical specifications published by the company relate to heat dissipation and wear—factors that limit the operation of a drone motor in practice. Specifically, they describe a vortex cooling system and the placement of three ball bearings, aimed at increasing the durability of motors operating for extended periods at elevated temperatures.
Instead of releasing a single product, the company creates a diverse range. At the end of 2025, Viramgam reported that they are working on a portfolio of 18 motors with 25 different speed ratings, and a catalog will soon be presented allowing drone manufacturers to select a motor just as they would from foreign suppliers. Clients are publicly sharing their experience collaborating.
A co-founder of the drone company SpanTrik stated that Iindepro developed coaxial motors according to their specifications in just 30 days, while another client noted the possibility of reordering compact motors previously unavailable from Indian suppliers. Furthermore, Iindepro collaborated with a team at the IIT Madras Research Park on a motor for a defense project.
According to corporate documents, the company's revenue for the year ending March 2025 was 7.78 lakh rupees, and paid-up capital was about 1 lakh rupees. No information regarding funding rounds was provided. The company was selected to participate in the Bharat Innovates 2026 program, a government initiative that in June took a group of Indian deep-tech companies to Nice, France, and presented them through the IIT Mandi incubator.
The company's target markets extend beyond the drone sector to include robotics and space. Its offering to drone manufacturers is not only about cost but also about customization: the company acts as a supplier that designs according to specific requirements, rather than simply selling off-the-shelf goods. For a drone company needing a motor tailored to a specific chassis, working with a local supplier is easier than working with a company located in several time zones.
Currently, the company has a product line, satisfied clients willing to speak publicly about it, and a market that traditionally purchases products from abroad. However, production scaling has not yet been achieved.
A young resident of the Almora district in Uttarakhand is gaining public attention due to his invention. Ravi Tamta from Almora announced the development of a single-seater flying car. He prepared this prototype as part of his startup, Happyda Sky Private Limited, naming it the Happyda Skynex Prototype. A video of this flying car is rapidly spreading across social media, sparking widespread discussion about his efforts.
Ravi Tamta reported that creating this flying car took him about a year. He developed this single-seater flying apparatus by improving drone technology. Following this, a successful test flight was conducted near Almora. Ravi himself demonstrated the flight of this flying car.
Ravi shared this achievement on social media, noting that it was the most important day of his life. He emphasized that the first successful flight of the Happyda Skynex is the result of years of research, struggle, experiments, and constant effort. He called it a significant milestone on the path to creating the first personal flying vehicle in India. Ravi Tamta noted that the project required long and continuous work, numerous experiments, and technological improvements before the creation of this prototype. After the successful flight, he feels joy and pride.
This achievement, originating from a small town like Almora, is now actively being discussed on social media. The viral video shows a single-seater flying car taking off into the air. People are sharing this video and highly praising Ravi Tamta's efforts. Ravi Tamta had previously also attracted public attention with his various inventions. In 2019, he announced the development of an electrolytic pump mechanism.
He claimed that this technology allows electric vehicles to be charged in a very short time. At that time, he demonstrated this in Haldwani. He stated that this technology could be faster and cheaper than traditional charging. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami congratulated Ravi Tamta, stating that this proves the presence of talent, innovative thinking, and scientific thought among the youth. He noted that this pioneering work inspires not only Uttarakhand but also the youth of the entire country. He expressed confidence that Ravi will continue to reach new heights in science and technology through his innovations. He wished him a bright future and continuous success.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami warmly congratulated the young innovator from Almora, Uttarakhand, on the successful test flight of the HAPIDA SKYNEX prototype, which represents an innovation in drone technology. He stressed that this achievement proves that there is no shortage of talent, innovation, and scientific thinking among the youth. He added that this pioneering work...
Furthermore, Ravi Tamta worked on shoe chargers for mobile phones. He also experimented with a basic helicopter model. For the convenience of forestry employees, he developed a special GPS-equipped stick. His experiments have also periodically become subjects of discussion. Now, after the successful testing of the single-seater flying car, Ravi Tamta is once again in the spotlight. He believes that this achievement is not just one flight, but the result of long-term research and hard work. The public is showing great interest in his efforts after the video went viral on social media.
