This one’s personal.

insideFPV has just signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with IIIT Surat, and while that might sound like a formal press release waiting to happen… for us, it’s so much more.

Because this isn’t just about paperwork.

It’s about possibility. It’s about showing up, building together, and doing the kind of work that actually means something.

We’ve always believed in pushing boundaries. But to do that, you need the right people by your side. And with IIIT Surat, we’ve found not just collaborators, but co-dreamers.

So… What Are We Really Doing Together?

This partnership isn’t a fancy headline or a corporate checkbox. It’s real. It’s raw. And it’s focused on impact.

Here’s what we’re rolling up our sleeves for:

Research Funding That Drives Progress

We’re teaming up to tap into research grants and funding opportunities that can bring the next big leap in drone tech. Not vague ideas, but projects with purpose, projects that get off the whiteboard and into the world.

Faculty-Led Innovation That Doesn’t Sit on a Shelf

The faculty at IIIT Surat? They’re not here to observe but they’re here to lead, mentor, and create. We’re working closely with them to bring fresh ideas to life, and to make sure research doesn’t gather dust, but instead becomes something tangible and useful.

Building for the World, Right Here at Home

We’re not just co-developing technology. We’re co-owning it, commercializing it, and launching it into the world. We’re building advanced drone systems that solve real-world problems and we’re proud to say they’ll be made right here in India.

Students in the Driver’s Seat

Let’s be honest: no one remembers the 47th theory lecture they sat through. But building something real? That sticks.

Through this partnership, students will get their hands dirty. They’ll work on live projects, develop prototypes, make mistakes, try again, and eventually create something incredible. That’s how the next generation of tech leaders is made.

Why This Really Matters

Drones are no longer “the future.” They’re now. From agriculture and delivery to disaster response and defense, drone tech is becoming an essential part of how we live and work.

But here’s the thing: innovation doesn’t happen in silos. It needs a bridge between ideas and execution. Between the classroom and the real world. Between theory and getting your hands greasy in a lab at 10 PM, trying to fix a prototype that just won’t fly.

That’s the bridge we’re building with IIIT Surat.

Because we’re not here to just dream. We’re here to do.

From India, For the World

There’s a quiet pride in building something at home, something that doesn’t just compete globally, but leads.

We’re not here to import innovation. We’re here to create it from scratch, from the ground up, right here in India. And to share it with the world.

This partnership is our way of saying: India isn’t following the drone revolution and we’re helping write it.

What’s Next?

The wheels are already turning.

We’re:

Drafting project roadmaps
Scouting funding opportunities
Setting up student innovation labs
Starting the first rounds of prototyping and testing

This isn’t a someday plan. It’s happening now. And it’s only the beginning.

Final Thoughts

If you can’t tell already, we’re a little more than just “excited.”
We’re proud. We’re grateful. And above all, we’re ready.

Ready to build. Ready to learn. Ready to make a dent.

To the team at IIIT Surat, thank you for believing in this vision with us. And to every student, mentor, engineer, and dreamer who will be part of this journey - we see you, we need you, and we can’t wait to build with you.
