InsideFPV, a leading deep-tech drone manufacturing company, announces the launch of its groundbreaking Make in India Elevate V1 Series. InsideFPV provides drones that empower its users to engage in cinematography, and STEM education, enhance surveillance capabilities, and agriculture, and capture first-person view videos that were once out of their reach. The company’s market scope encompasses various sectors, including Government Contracts and Defence, Agriculture, Commercial Sectors, and Surveillance.
The highly anticipated Elevate V1 Series drone is competitively priced at INR 1.5 Lakh and to celebrate the launch, the first 100 customers will get it at a special price of INR 95,000 and it will be available on InsideFPV’s website as well as popular e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart, ensuring widespread accessibility across India.
Drones are majorly used in commercial, military, and agricultural applications, due to the perception of high cost of ownership. InsideFPV, with its innovative technology, aims to bridge this gap by offering one-of-a-kind Plug and Fly FPV (First Person View) feature-rich drones to consumers at an affordable price point.
Arth Chowdhary, CEO, InsideFPV says, “The Indian Drone market is fast emerging as the regulations around drone usage are relaxed and consumer acceptance is increasing. Our perspective is clear: drones, especially in the consumer, agricultural, and defence space, are not only the technology of the future but the revolution of the present. We see a world in which drones are indispensable to day-to-day activities, revolutionizing everything from security, and cinematography to agricultural management. This is a fundamental shift, not merely a commercial trend, and we are in the vanguard, prepared to spearhead the movement.”
