Why India’s flying taxi revolution begins with electric air ambulances
The ePlane Company seeks to establish India's electric aviation sector by building battery-powered eVTOL aircraft. Rather than pursuing passenger air taxi networks immediately, the founder emphasizes that deeptech ventures must solve real problems with sustainable business models. The company views emergency medical transport as a viable near-term application. The founder stresses that technological innovation alone cannot sustain deeptech startups; financial viability and path to scale (decacorn potential) are essential for survival.
