Our Vision
We are taking Indian drone tech to the world through our cutting-edge indigenous tech. We want to acquire a significant global presence in drone control systems and harness our expertise to transform events, reimagine celebrations, and bring wonder to communities all over the world.
Our Mission
Our mission is two-fold: to be at the cutting-edge of innovation across Unmanned Aerial System applications, and to become a global pioneer in the experiential entertainment industry through our drone light shows.
Our Journey
Taking Off: The Beginning
Botlab Dynamics was incorporated in 2016 and incubated at IIT-Delhi's Technology Business Incubation Unit. Co-founders Tanmay Bunkar, Anuj Kumar Barnwal, and Dr. Sarita Ahlawat shared a goal: to develop indigenous drone technology and advance India's self-sufficiency in defense.
Building Indigenous Tech
In 2019, we showcased swarm tech at Pokhran for the Indian Air Force. By 2020, we'd built our own Flight Controller, ESC, RTK GPS, and ELRS Receiver, a real stride toward going fully indigenous.
India's Indigenous Drone Tech
Our hardware and software are built entirely in-house, for one reason: homegrown tech for a growing nation. At a time when hardware startups and drone infrastructure were both scarce in India, we mastered hardware, software, and firmware, and now support other drone companies under the Make-in-India initiative.
Setting Global Records
In 2022, we made India the fourth country to fly 1,000+ drones at the Beating Retreat Ceremony. Since then, BotLab has executed India's largest Drone Show, the first aerial QR code, the highest-altitude drone show, Africa's largest drone show, and Sri Lanka's first and largest drone show. Successfully gaining 7 Guinness World Records, unmatched by any Indian drone company.
India's Biggest Drone Shows
From Rashtrapati Bhavan, we've gone on to the National Games, Cricket and Hockey World Cups, IPL Opening Ceremony, Startup20, Ayodhya Deepotsav, IIFA, Maha Kumbh 2025, Mysore Dasara and Filmfare. Clients include Mercedes, Tata Motors, Mahindra, GE, Godrej, Lifebuoy, and Kingfisher, across 25 states and 200+ cities worldwide.
Expanding Global Presence
2025 marked a major international push: multi-city drone shows across Kuwait, Oman, and Dubai, plus Sri Lanka's first drone show. BotLab Dynamics now carries the strength of Made in India drone technology to three continents.
