Could you talk about the brains behind your solutions? How was the team built & what motivates them to ensure client satisfaction?

The drone industry is booming as new technologies are emerging at a rapid pace. As a result, we are witnessing a spike in the surge of companies in this sector. My request to upcoming drone businesses is to come together as a team and make India a drone hub as our honorable Prime Minister aspires the country to be. My advice to all my peers and business leaders is to believe in excellency, find the right and capable additions to your team and impart training to those people.
