Current company

The ePlane Company

Aviation and Aerospace Component Manufacturing · 194 employees · Founded 2019 · Chennai, India

The ePlane Company is redefining urban air mobility with the e200X, India's first electric air ambulance and taxi. Engineered around a compact 8 by 10 meter footprint , it utilizes existing city helipads and rooftops instead of requiring entirely new infrastructure. As a deep-tech "Make in India" breakthrough, its core subsystems—including the propellers, airframe, landing gear, and battery packs are developed entirely indigenously. Current Stage & Capital Backed by $21 million in total funding, including a $14 million Series B , and 7 years of subscale validation, ePlane has transitioned from simulation to hardware. Full-scale assembly of the first prototype, PT-01, is complete, integrating all core subsystems into a single physical structure. PT-01 is entering ground testing at IIT Madras to validate structural loads , moving directly into flight testing and DGCA Type Certification. Notably, ePlane holds India's first Design Organisation Approval (DOA) for a private electric aircraft. Leadership & Credibility Incubated at IIT Madras and founded by Prof. Satya Chakravarthy , the company pairs top-tier aerospace expertise with capital-efficient engineering. Its deep-tech capability is validated globally, recently featured in NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's GTC Keynote and selected for the government's flagship Bharat Innovates 2026 showcase in France, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Emmanuel Macron. The Future The commercial rollout leads with the air ambulance to address the critical emergency "golden hour" , cutting urban transit times from hours to minutes. This same scalable airframe will later expand to serve passenger air taxi and urban cargo sectors , redefining city transit as a formal public unveil approaches in the coming weeks.
