Homegrown Drones Power Faster Flood Relief in Chamoli
After the Chamoli glacier burst in Uttarakhand, EndureAir Systems, an IIT-Kanpur startup, deployed indigenous drones to aid rescue. Their Vibhram UAV scanned flood-hit zones, delivered relief, and captured high-res visuals to guide damage assessment. Coordinated by AGNIi, the mission proved how homegrown drone tech can make disaster response faster, safer, and smarter.
