The Company Partnered With Swiggy, India’s Largest Food Delivery Service
ANRA Technologies accomplished a 100-flight hour milestone while conducting Beyond Visual Line of Sight delivery operations in India.
ANRA and Swiggy made history with their launch of the first end-to-end BVLOS drone delivery trials as part of a project last June. ANRA flew side by side with partner BetterDrones. Swiggy is India’s largest online food delivery system.
The project concluded having flown over 350 sorties, transiting 1,100 kilometers of incident-free operations. Many challenges presented themselves over the course of the operations, including heavy rains during monsoon season and quarantines. The teams’ activities took place from the campus of the Indian Institute of Technology and Ropar at the Etah district.
ANRA was the only UAS technology provider approved by the Government of India to lead this initiative, which it accomplished by leading two consortiums. One consortium included ANRA and their partners Swiggy, Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar, and BetterDrones. The other consortium included ANRA and IIT-R, which focused on medical deliveries.
Following these missions, ANRA hopes to use their experience to assist the World Economic Forum’s Medicines from the Sky project in India which will be operating drones in medical emergencies such as vaccine delivery.
The BVLOS project is ongoing in India as the government seeks to prepare the local industry for the global drone services segment, in addition to prioritizing policies in this area.
ANRA reports that they were honored to lead the consortium in this field in conducting flight operations with our partners. They have recently closed a multi-million dollar funding round led by a group of global investors that will help speed up the company's development and fuel the expansion of the international team and portfolio.
