Nabhdrishti is building small gas turbines for drones, aircraft and power generation

Nabhdrishti Aerospace, founded in Bengaluru in 2023, is developing small gas turbines for drones, aircraft, and power generation.

The company builds fuel-flexible engines on a shared core, with products ND400 (400 Newton turbojet for UAVs) and ND2000 (2 MW for industrial/defence).

Co-founders Rohit Chouhan, Arjun Srivatsa, and Antanu Sadhu previously worked at General Electric, Rolls-Royce, and DRDO's Gas Turbine Research Establishment.

Nabhdrishti raised ₹3 crore pre-seed in April 2024 and ₹25.64 crore seed in March 2025, led by IIMA Ventures and Accel.

Engines are designed for fuel flexibility, including green hydrogen, targeting markets from unmanned aircraft to decentralised power generation.
