What They Build
Garuda Aerospace builds drones and provides drone services for agriculture, mapping, inspection, security, public-sector, and defense-adjacent use cases.
Why They Matter
Drone capability becomes durable when manufacturing, operations, training, and regulatory compliance move together. Garuda matters because it has pushed toward scale in a market where many drone companies remain small services shops. The risk is differentiation: scale alone does not guarantee technical depth.
