DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Limited, an Indian drone service provider and DGCA-certified drone pilot training organisation, announced today that it will begin operations in Thailand in partnership with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). The collaboration will help the company enter the Southeast Asian market. The collaboration with AIT's primary goal is to co-develop projects involving Drones and GIS in Thailand and surrounding countries.
Prateek Srivastava - Founder & MD and Marcia Chen - Sr. Manager - BD & Sales from DroneAcharya, as well as Prof. Dieter Trau - Dean of School of Engineering and Technology & Director of AIT Entrepreneurship Center and Ranadheer Mandadi - Program Officer from AIT's Special Degree Program Office, signed an MOU with Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand.
While DroneAcharya's initial focus will be on the Indian market, the company plans to expand into other markets such as the Middle East, the United States, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. DroneAcharya is launching a series of drone training courses as part of its strategy to expand across Europe and capture the market there. Furthermore, DroneAcharya is the first drone startup in India to be listed on the BSE SME platform.
Drones are becoming more important in the optimization of operations across a wide range of industries. Together with artificial intelligence, the data they collect and analyse from a bird's-eye view are changing how businesses examine, survey, and map the ground, buildings, and crops below. In 2016, the global drone market was worth $11.45 billion, and it is expected to grow to $51.85 billion by 2025. These figures show that the Southeast region, like the rest of the world, has enormous growth potential. Thailand, for example, has enormous potential for growth in terms of GIS, Development, AI / ML, Drones, and so on. Drone pilots, GIS experts, engineers, and GIS developers will be employed as a result of the collaborative projects.
