At just 21, Naman Pushp is building an aerospace company around an idea that emerged from a problem he encountered while experimenting with drones as a teenager. What began during the 2020 lockdown as a school student’s robotics project has since evolved into Airbound, a Bengaluru-based startup that has raised $37 million in a Series A round led by Greenoaks, taking its total funding to nearly $50 million, according to India Today.
Pushp’s journey began with a $500 hackathon prize and eventually led him to turn down a place at Carnegie Mellon University to work on drone technology full-time.
