Anoop Upadhyay, another Co-Founder and Director of IoTechWorld, recalled their pioneering role in introducing Krishi-drones to India, receiving the nation's first type of certification from Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia last year. The recent type certification for AGRIBOT A6 underscores the company's unwavering commitment to developing high-quality and innovative products. Upadhyay highlighted that AGRIBOT A6's compact design makes it exceptionally easy for farmers to transport and operate.

IoTechWorld's AGRIBOT-A6 adheres to global quality standards, and with the recently announced liberalized export policy by DGFT, the drone now has greater access to international markets. The company aims to leverage this opportunity to expand its presence globally, focusing on regions like SAARC, South East Asia, Latin America, Africa, among others.

IoTechWorld has also established a valuable partnership with agrochemical company Syngenta and conducted extensive drone yatras covering over 25,000 km in various parts of India. This collaboration has further strengthened their expertise and knowledge in catering to the agricultural sector's evolving needs.

With ambitious targets in mind, IoTechWorld aims to sell over 3,000 drones in the current financial year, displaying its confidence in the product's market acceptance and demand. As the company explores new opportunities for export and expansion, it remains dedicated to driving technology adoption in farming and contributing to sustainable and regenerative agriculture practices.

The DGCA's certification marks a significant milestone in IoTechWorld's journey, bolstering its reputation as a frontrunner in the Indian drone market and paving the way for a promising future on the global stage.
