The ePlane Company, incubated at IIT Madras, aims to revolutionize urban mobility with its all-electric, zero-emission air taxi, designed as one of the most compact eVTOL aircraft. This solution targets mid-mile urban air mobility, addressing congestion and pollution in cities, with potential across the $1+ trillion global UAM market.
ePlane holds several patents and is the first private Indian company to receive Design Organisation Approval (DoA) from India's DGCA for an electric aircraft. Its compact design offers long-range flights at lower speeds by using powered-down vertical rotors to enhance lift.
Founded by Prof. Satya Chakravarthy in 2019, the team boasts 100+ experts, including 5 PhDs and 20+ Masters from top institutions. The company is testing a cargo plane for metro cities, with its air taxi in detailed engineering and regulatory audits beginning in FY 2024. Initially human piloted, the air taxi will transition to autonomous as regulations allow.
