Airbound is a Bengaluru-based autonomous drone company founded in 2023 by Naman Pushp. It designs and manufactures ultra-lightweight, blended-wing-body tail-sitter drones that take off and land vertically and cruise on fixed wings. The company’s stated goal is drone delivery at cost parity with trucking, with per-package pricing as low as one US cent at scale.
Airbound operates from a 43,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Bengaluru and has completed more than 13,000 autonomous flights, including a live diagnostic-sample delivery route with the Narayana Health hospital network. It has signed an agreement with the government of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh for a three-city network eventually running 10,000 flights per day for retail, e-commerce and healthcare.
