“Most drones in the market are designed for a single purpose, such as pesticide spraying. Recognizing the challenges faced by farmers, we have developed the first multi-utility drone, the AG365. Much like a tractor, this drone can be adapted for various tasks simply by changing its attachments, allowing for a better return on investment. We can utilize the drone for different agricultural applications over the years. In line with Marut’s vision to build a robust ecosystem for adoption of drones in agriculture, we are offering a comprehensive skill development training course at no cost for the month of October. Marut’s aim is to provide entry-level support for individuals looking to embrace drone technology and achieve financial independence. A drone entrepreneur using Marut Drones can earn anywhere between Rs.40,000 to Rs.90,000 / month, enabling him/her to work at comfort of his home making a positive impact on farmers.” said Prem Kumar Vislawath, CEO and Co-Founder, Marut Drones.
