## About

Founded in 2023 and based in Karnataka, India, Zulu Defence Systems Private Limited operates as a provider of air defense systems used for national security. Nagendran Kandasamy (CEO), ShashiKumar Ramakrishna (CTO), and Rajagopal Sethuraman (CFO) are the co-founders of the company. In April 2024, Zulu Defence Systems Private Limited raised USD 0.75 million in seed funding led by Finvolve, including India Accelerator.

The company's primary product is Hoverbee, a personal reconnaissance system (PRS) that gives situational awareness and can be launched and recovered manually. The firm also provides Recon90, a tactical-grade Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) platform with long-range capability and AI-assisted object detection and tracking. Zulu Defence Systems provides the Drap, a computer-driven hovering munitions system capable of carrying warheads with a variety of fuse options. In addition, the company develops the Volume35 UAS, which transports freight in adverse weather situations without reducing volume capacity.

The organization plans to use the April 2024 funding to support its geographic expansion.
