Drone delivery in India is no longer a concept being tested in labs, it is happening at scale. Skye Air Mobility, a hyperlocal drone delivery platform, has closed a $9 million Series B funding round led by IAN Group through its Alpha Fund, with several other investors participating in the raise.
The numbers behind Skye Air make a strong case for the technology. In just over two years, the company has carried out more than 3.6 million autonomous deliveries while cutting over 1,000 tonnes of COâ‚‚ emissions, a clear signal that drone logistics can work alongside traditional supply chains rather than just replace them.
What sets Skye Air apart is its end-to-end infrastructure approach. The company operates a hub-pod-walker delivery network, its own airspace management system called Skye UTM, and an AI-powered logistics stack, all built to handle high-volume, last-mile delivery in dense urban areas.
With this fresh capital, Skye Air is focused on expanding this infrastructure further as IAN Group backs their vision of making autonomous aerial logistics a mainstream reality.
