Building for state procurement · India · 2026

An inclusive
drone ecosystem
for nation building.

We design and deploy drones, AI, and ground sensors to tackle the country's hardest problems — climate, food security, forest protection, urban planning — and we hand the operations over to entrepreneurs from rural and underserved communities. For state, central and defence procurement: brief us in confidence.

01 — About

A purpose-built company, leveraging cutting-edge tech to transform India holistically from the grassroots.

Climate, food security, urban planning — these are not problems you can solve from a glass tower. You solve them on the ground, one farmer, one acre, one forest at a time.

Theta Enerlytics is a positive-impact deep-tech company. We build drones, train operators, and run AI/ML pipelines for climate-change mitigation, precision agriculture, GIS, environment monitoring, and entertainment.

The promoters came together with a combined 40+ years of experience across energy, homeland security & defence, and paper industry — sectors where consequences are physical, regulated, and measured in lives and rupees.

We work end-to-end: we make the drones, train the entrepreneur, hand-hold them through field operations, and aggregate the services back to large customers over 3-5 year contracts.

02 — Capabilities

Five divisions, one mission.

From a 1,000 sq km Digital Agri Mission rollout for the Government of Mizoram — AgriStack-grade farmer-ID registration, geo-referenced parcels, and digital crop survey — to 5G-enabled gunshot detection in Karnataka forests, to 10,000-drone light shows — our work spans the front lines of climate, food, and public safety.

/01 — DIVISION

Agriculture & precision farming

Latest image-capture and processing combined with on-ground sensors. We deliver soil-health & plant-health analysis, optimised fertiliser usage, geo-tagging of produce, hydrology assessment, agri audits for insurance, and forward market linkages — using 90% less water and 30% less chemicals than conventional spray.

IFAD · Mizoram

Climate-resilient JHUM under the Digital Agri Mission frame

UAV survey for the International Fund for Agricultural Development on the climate-change impact on JHUM cultivation in Mizoram — hydrology study, identification of pisciculture pond locations, and optimum routing of farm-link roads. Outputs feed the state’s geo-referenced parcel layer and digital crop-survey baseline for shifting-cultivation tracts.

24×7 forest surveillance & anti-poaching

UAV-based surveillance and anti-poaching system contributed to the Rajasthan wildlife flagship — drones, thermal cameras and IP-based radio across Ranthambore, Sariska, Mukundra, Jhalana and Jawai sanctuaries. Independent reports show a reduction in intrusion, infiltration and poaching cases since deployment.

08 — Mission

10,000 drone enterprises, from the districts that need them most. "What we can do for our country — not what our country can do for us."

Through the Aadhunik Udhyojak Yojna — a partnership between Theta Enerlytics, the Theta Foundation, and the Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI) — we are creating and hand-holding 10,000 drone enterprises across India, from service providers to job-creating startups.

25% of total deployment is targeted from the seven-sister states of the North-East, with focus on Scheduled Tribes. Each entrepreneur receives a drone, laptop, GIS tools, software, and end-to-end training across agriculture, forest management, town planning, police services, mining, construction, and more.

Backed by national initiatives: Stand Up India, Mudra Scheme, the entire opportunity ladder for SC & ST communities.
