Founded in 2019 and incubated at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Tsalla Aerospace builds an AI-based autonomy stack for drones and unmanned systems. Its AI Pilot enables unmanned platforms to operate without GPS or communication support and aims to function with zero operator intervention. Tsalla works with the Indian Navy and Indian Army on multiple projects. These include confined-space reconnaissance systems, backpack-based VTOL platforms designed for single-person operation, and logistics use cases such as ship-to-ship delivery in difficult weather conditions. Tsalla competes with domestic defence and autonomy companies such as ideaForge, NewSpace Research & Tech, Sagar Defence, CRON Systems, and global dual-use autonomy developers. According to the company, it also plans to raise $8 million in a seed round to expand its autonomy stack, grow deployments in India and international markets, and enter new defence and industrial segments.
