Mr. Sai Kumar Chinthala, CEO of Marut Drone Academy, added, “Punjab, the breadbasket of India, faces solvable challenges in its agricultural sector. With increasing labor shortages, climate change, young work force migrating to other foreign lands and depleting natural resources, the need for innovative solutions to enhance crop productivity has never been more critical. We are proud to establish the first drone academy in the Talwara. This partnership aims to empower the rural community of Punjab, helping farmers and college students adopt drone technology to maximize their harvests this upcoming Rabi season. The adoption of drone technology in the region will create numerous job and business opportunities, offering a quick and profitable return on investment.”
India’s drone industry is projected to require 100,000 pilots by 2024, yet there are currently only 11,035 skilled drone pilots in the country. To bridge this gap, Marut Drone Academy (MDA) is committed to building an ecosystem for drone education in India. Through strategic partnerships with organizations like NIPHM, PJTSAU, and the Telangana State Aviation Academy, MDA is empowering the next generation of drone enthusiasts, having already trained 1,000+ drone pilots across the country.

With approximately 20% of all jobs in the drone industry focused on pilots, and the agriculture sector holding the largest potential for drone applications, the need for skilled professionals is critical. As an early mover in the drone technology sector, Marut Drone Academy is striving to scale up to meet the significant demand for manpower in the industry.
