IndiaA Bengaluru-based aerospace startup, Airbound, founded by 21-year-old Naman Pushp, has raised $37 million in a Series A funding round led by Greenoaks. The company's journey began in 2020 during the pandemic when Pushp, then 15, built a drone as a hobby project during lockdown. Initially named 'Open Drone,' the project won a $500 prize, which Pushp reinvested into creating a more advanced prototype. Now, Airbound focuses on drone logistics, aiming to reduce costs by designing lightweight aircraft that prioritize payload capacity over traditional weight considerations. The startup's innovative approach highlights the potential of youth-driven entrepreneurship in emerging technologies.
