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 the Synergistic List patent in 8 countries and is the first private Indian company to receive Design Organisation Approval (DoA) from India's DGCA for an electric aircraft. e200X's type certification is already under progress since December 2024.
Founded by Prof. Satya Chakravarthy in 2019, the team boasts 140+ experts, including 6 PhDs and 38+ Masters from top institutions. Initially human piloted, the air taxi can transition to autonomous as regulations allow.
