EndureAir was founded in 2018 by Dr. Abhishek, Rama Krishna, and Chirag Jain. The Company is dedicated to transforming the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sector through the manufacture of advanced helicopter drones that excel in performance, versatility, reliability, and endurance. With a strong commitment to excellence and the integration of advanced technology in Long range operations and high-altitude payload drones, EndureAir aims to empower the Indian Army, and government entities addressing diverse user requirements and community needs.
Initially focused on addressing challenges in remote and diverse terrains, Dr. Abhishek brought Rama and Chirag together, leveraging cutting-edge UAV technology research within the walls of IIT Kanpur for advanced development. This collaboration yielded several drone models, including ‘Vibhram’, UAVs designed for last-mile delivery and surveillance for the Indian Army. Later, the company developed the “Alakh” a nano UAV for surveillance which was deployed for relief operations by NDRF in Chamoli, and also launched the Series of logistic Drone “Sabal” for heavy payload and high altitude. The company's drones have been involved in several real-life applications, including participation in the Uttarkashi Silkyara Tunnel rescue operation for damage assessment and the rescue mission in Turkey Earthquake.
The Company also collaborated as a technical Partner with five defense PSUs to create advanced testing facilities under the DTI Scheme initiated by the Ministry of Defence. Additionally, a signed MoU has facilitated the establishment of these testing facilities within the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC). This initiative aims to drive technological advancements and provide essential infrastructure for testing specialized defense technologies, particularly in the domain of unmanned aerial systems
