27th February, 2025; Mumbai: Trajectron Sports, India’s youngest licensed airgun manufacturer today launched its inaugural product – Arawn, an advanced airgun custom-built for premium field-shooting enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Arawn is regarded as India’s first, most advanced and indigenously designed and manufactured pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) airgun – offering global standards in quality at the most competitive prices.
Founded by Pramod Paulose, MD & CEO, Trajectron on-boarded two more co-founders – the reputed adman and serial entrepreneur, Prahlad Kakar and a seasoned banker, Brian D’souza. Besides their common vision to build one of India’s most cutting-edge engineering products companies, all three leaders also share a deep passion for airguns and field-shooting. The company started manufacturing Arawn in early 2025 and plans to take the value proposition to niche markets, including domestic and international shooting communities.
Commenting on the launch of Arawn, Pramod Paulose, MD & CEO, Trajectron Sports, said, “Today marks a milestone for us at Trajectron and the Indian airgun sector. With the launch of Arawn, we have taken a shot at manufacturing excellence – offering an advanced world-class product at competitive pricing. It would be safe to say, we went all guns blazing into our vision to design and produce India’s very own precision PCP airgun. I would like to thank my co-founders and the entire team for their contribution to not only a product, but a revolution in the Indian airgun industry.”
The Indian airgun industry is estimated to be $3 billion and growing. Its robust growth is riding on several factors including improved purchasing power, traditional status and cultural relevance, rising interest in shooting sports, accessibility of online platforms and technological advancements in design. However, multiple bottlenecks such as lack of indigenous options, absence of physical touch and feel, and import-specific factors such as longer timelines, higher costs, hiccups in payment, and issues in service & support often dissuade collectors and enthusiasts, severely limiting their options.
“Being an avid field-shooting enthusiast, I along with my co-founders have experienced these challenges personally. Hence, when we connected through a chance meeting, we decided to pull the trigger to pursue our passion for a Make-In-India advanced PCP airgun”, said Prahlad Kakar, co-founder, Trajectron Sports. “The airgun is an ode to our collective passion for the sport and more importantly, it’s an engineering marvel enhanced with the latest technology, yet retaining the simplicity of point and shoot!”, further added Prahlad.
The company will sell Arawn through its growing dealership network comprising dealers and distributors across India. The company plans to further market the product across international markets by late 2025 opening up a wide vista of possibilities for growth.
