From Shark Tank to World Records: The InsideFPV Success Story

In just a few years, InsideFPV has soared to become one of India’s most exciting drone manufacturers, reshaping the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) landscape with cutting-edge technology and a strong "Make-in-India" vision. Founded in 2020 by Oshi Kumani, Devyant Bhardwaj and Arth Chowdhary, the company emerged as a response to the growing demand for high-quality First-Person View (FPV) drones.

Today, InsideFPV isn’t just another drone company—it’s a pioneer, breaking records, winning accolades, and pushing the boundaries of what drones can do.

One of InsideFPV’s biggest differentiators is its Plug and Fly FPV drones—just charge and its ready to fly, simplifying the flying experience for both beginners and professionals. Unlike traditional drones that require complex setups, InsideFPV’s models are ready to take off right out of the box, blending user-friendliness with high performance.

Whether you're a hobbyist, a farmer, or a defense professional, InsideFPV’s drones are built to deliver reliability, innovation, and versatility. Their drones have set a world record by staying airborne for 141 minutes on a single charge. They have won the prestigious Him-Dron-A-thon in 2024, and secured a massive deal to supply 10,000 drones to Israel over the next 10 years, marking a significant step in global expansion.

The company’s groundbreaking work has earned them spots in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2024 and the TIMES Most Promising Drone Tech Startup Award.

InsideFPV made waves when it became the first Indian drone company to appear on Shark Tank India (Season 2). The founders impressed the sharks, securing INR 75 lakhs for 15% equity from Peyush Bansal, Namita Thapar, Amit Jain, and Aman Gupta, valuing the company at ₹5 Crore.

Beyond TV, InsideFPV has built a strong digital presence, engaging drone enthusiasts on platforms like Instagram, where they showcase their latest innovations and behind-the-scenes developments. Collaborations with artists and events such as Sunburn, Divine, DJ Snake, Tech Burner, and DJ Chetas have enhanced the brand's visibility and market reach.

With backing from Mumbai Angels and Inflection Point Ventures, InsideFPV has raised 880K across six funding rounds (last valued at $2.73 million in September 2023). Their mission? To become the world’s leading drone manufacturer, driven by innovation, customer support, and a commitment to indigenous manufacturing.

From setting world records to empowering industries and entertaining millions, InsideFPV is proving that Indian drone technology can compete—and lead—on a global scale. With passionate founders, strong investor support, and a relentless drive for innovation, this company is truly taking flight in ways no one imagined possible.
