What specific goals and priorities have you achieved during IME 2023?

During IME 2023, our primary goal was to establish meaningful connections with industry stakeholders and gain firsthand insights into their evolving needs within the mining sector. we strategically participated in this event to capitalize on the growing interest in drone technology and its potential applications.

One of our key achievements during IME 2023 was successfully fostering relationships with key players in the industry. Through networking opportunities and engaging discussions, we established connections that not only strengthened our existing partnerships but also opened doors to potential collaborations. This was instrumental in expanding HELLA network and enhancing our understanding of the industry landscape.

The featured products demonstrated the immense potential to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and safety within the mining industry. The key highlight was the integration of drone technologies seamlessly into the mining workflow, presenting a holistic approach to optimizing operations.

How do you intend to assess the performance and outcomes of your business for the fiscal year 2023-24?

The industry we operate in is ever-changing, at least at the moment. In all exhibitions we attend, we engage with visitors from diverse industries and consistently receive new and challenging problem statements to work on. As a company that provides drone-as-a-service, we never shy away from a new challenge; that’s what keeps us excited and our engine running. I believe the new fiscal year will be no different. We will approach it with the same aggressive attitude we have always adopted and explore new services to expand our portfolio.

What is your perspective on the anticipated market dynamics in the sector you are in?

As mentioned in my previous response, our industry is dynamic, continually presenting new problem statements to address. This also implies that every company seeks a share of the market. In my view, introduction of new companies each week not only triggers pricing battles but also contributes to the increased dynamism of the market. What sets us apart from these newcomers is our commitment to unmatched quality and professional service. Our success can be attributed to meticulous research and robust SOPs developed over the years, ensuring seamless and timely execution of projects. Consequently, we anticipate that our operations will remain resilient in the face of market fluctuations in the long run.

Could you elaborate on your company’s initiatives and progress in creating eco-friendly solutions?

Being a new-age startup, particularly within the drone industry, our primary focus is on minimizing our carbon footprint. All our drones are exclusively battery-operated. Moreover, we are currently exploring a shift to Electric Vehicles (EVs) for our on-site operations to further diminish our environmental impact. However, the current challenge lies in the scarcity of available EV charging points. Our goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025, reflecting our commitment to sustainable practices and environmental responsibility. Furthermore, as a Drone Mapping and Survey company, we play a pivotal role in promoting environmental awareness. Through our environmental monitoring service, we empower others to take actionable steps towards a greener future. This dual approach underscores our dedication to both mitigating our own ecological footprint and contributing positively to broader environmental initiatives.

What obstacles and difficulties do you perceive within the sector currently?

As previously mentioned, the influx of new entrants disrupting the market with low quotations and subpar work remains an ongoing challenge for established companies like ours. Additionally, the evolving landscape of drone laws and regulations adds another layer of complexity in executing projects seamlessly. Understanding the intricacies involved, especially given the complexity of drone operations, we acknowledge that the smooth implementation of new laws is a gradual process. Given the widespread use of drones by military forces worldwide, it is crucial that laws and regulations prioritize the safety and security of nations. We are optimistic that these laws and regulations will soon be established, enabling us to enhance the delivery of Hella Infratech services in a more efficient and effecti
