Strong Fundamentals: Garuda Aerospace has been growing rapidly, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased the demand for drones in various sectors.

Government Support: Garuda is the only startup to have 100 drones launched simultaneously, in 100 different villages by Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji.
