Bengaluru Startup Airbound Raises $50 Million Led by Founder’s Drone Innovation
Naman Pushp, a 21-year-old founder and CEO of Bengaluru-based startup Airbound, began building drones during the 2020 lockdown. His project won a 500 prize at a hackathon, which he reinvested to develop prototypes. Airbound focuses on drone delivery, completing over 13,000 autonomous flights, including medical sample transport for Narayana Health. The startup has raised nearly 50 million in funding, including a 37 million Series A led by Greenoaks. Pushp declined admission to Carnegie Mellon University to focus on his company.
