most pin-codes.
2. As per our next step for business advancement, the Company's Board has decided to venture into
'Hyper Local Delivery space' and want to conduct local delivery through drones and we have access
to all necessary permissions. Our team was successful in testing deliveries.
3. Exploring the concepts of courier services few initial deliveries were experimented such as food,
Pharma & Internal Local deliveries with a hope in exploring more business areas for cost-effective
cargo deliveries.
4. As a proof of concept we received valuable feedback by Initial Users in terms of time saving and
displacement via traffic free innovations in spite of today's busy city roads.
