IG Drones’ skill development programmes are aimed at making India self-sufficient and ushering in a paradigm shift that would see India become the world’s next Drone Manufacturing Hub.
India’s drone industry is catching up to that of other countries and gaining significant traction. According to 6Wresearch, the Indian UAV market is expected to develop at a CAGR of 18% in revenue from 2017 to 23. A recent research by the global market intelligence and advisory firm BIS, also stated that the Indian drone market is expected to reach $1.21 billion by the end of 2021.
With years of experience and expertise in enterprise drone solutions, design, and development, IG Drones will share the knowledge and technology to upskill the youth who possess immense capabilities to prove in the ongoing Industrial Revolution 4.0, according to Om Prakash Das, Co-founder of IG Drones.
As a result, it is critical to educate Indian young about drone technology in order to equip them with necessary knowledge and resources. The best way to do this is through a Center of Excellence. The CoE serves an important role in increasing students’ industrial awareness and providing placement chances in the same sector, in addition to providing them with vital skills and nurturing them with future-ready skills. With the introduction of PLI Incentive for the Drone Sector, this will surely open up new opportunities in the market.
