Incubated at IIT Patna, Megh Robotics designs and manufactures indigenous counter-drone systems for police departments and other government security forces
With a zeal to become a manufacturer and job provider, Sobhan Chakraborty, a techpreneur, registered a company called Scraptechies Solutions Pvt Ltd in 2018 after graduating. After numerous hits and misses, Chakraborty finally pivoted to designing counter-drone systems for the defence and security industry in 2021. Within two years, his efforts bore fruit, and Chakraborty’s Megh Robotics recorded an overall turnover of ₹19 million in its second year, including product sales, services, research projects, and prototype development.
The startup offers a range of advanced counter-drone solutions and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including handheld neutralisers, continuous operational omnidirectional neutralisers, compact UAVs, and net drones for capturing unauthorised drones.
Megh Robotics’ 4-channel handheld neutraliser offsets unauthorised UAVs with a precision 45-degree angular frequency wave and disrupts the drone’s remote controller, camera feed, and GPS signals. This device can operate within a one-kilometre range and has a battery life that lasts 75 minutes; it weighs 3.5kg.
