Behind the scenes with our drone experts
DroneYards is not just a company. It is a journey from a village in Rajasthan to the Delhi skyline. Here is the gear, the team, and the grind behind every flight.
My arsenal of drones. This is just a part of my collection, from large cinematic rigs to small, agile FPV drones, each one a tool for a specific type of shot.
It was all a dream. This video shows the journey of building my office, DroneYards, from a bare space to India's First Drone Experience Center with a team of over 10 people.
It was all a dream. Invited as a guest speaker at my own university, SRM, to talk about drone technology. A full circle moment from being a student to an industry expert.

Just listen. Me in my element, wearing the FPV goggles and holding the controller, completely immersed in the flight against a mountain backdrop.
People say FPV drones are a waste of money, but the unique shots they allow me to capture, like flying through a narrow corridor, prove they are worth every penny.
A quick look into the life of a drone pilot. It involves flying from high-rise balconies, working on construction sites, and always looking for the next great shot.
Starting something new in the hills. Here I am at the IIT Mandi Catalyst, a technology business incubator, where we are setting up a new drone lab.

With my partner outside the IIT Mandi Catalyst incubator. We are here to build and grow the drone community.
About The Pilot & The Process
People think flying is the whole job, but it is really about the prep. We spend hours checking airspace on the Digital Sky platform and managing battery swaps for every single shot. When you hire us, you are not just getting a pilot who shows up with a machine. You are getting a team that treats the pre-flight checklist like a mission protocol.
From my early days in Jhunjhunu to building our Drone Experience Center in Kaushambi, this work is everything. It is not just about capturing the shot. It is about the technology and the discipline needed to make it happen safely.
Whether we are running FPV drones for a concert or doing cinematic real estate tours, the process remains the same. My team is trained in high-speed vehicle tracking, gap diving, and indoor fly-throughs. We use GoPro Hero 11 and 12 Black for our FPV setups and the DJI Mavic 3 Pro for cinematic aerials, ensuring we get that 5.3K or 4K 60fps quality every time.
Safety is non-negotiable. We are fully DGCA certified, which means every flight follows the rules. We operate well within Visual Line of Sight, and for indoor shoots, we always use prop guards to keep your property and our gear safe.
Beyond the commercial shoots, I am deeply involved in training. I have had the privilege to train over 350 army soldiers and set up a drone lab at IIT Mandi. It is about giving back and building a future where these machines help us, not just film for us. If you want a crew that knows how to handle the pressure and the tech, you found us. We fly together, we grow together.
