00:00Sir, first of all, a brief introduction of yourself.
00:09My name is Ankit Kumar. I am the founder of IndoPlanet X.
00:13I have been working in this field since 2020.
00:16I have done my B.Tech. Then I did my Masters. Right now, I am pursuing my PhD.
00:21A little while ago, when we were talking, you were saying that you were in the Indian Army.
00:26After that, you started this startup.
00:28First of all, Indian Army is a startup and second of such a technology.
00:31So, it seems very interesting. I would like to know about that story from you.
00:35Ma'am, when it comes to a basic thing, actually I am from a farmer family.
00:40There was not much information.
00:42And when a person enters the engineering background, he should know what to do.
00:46But I was such a student who did not know what engineering is.
00:49So, I went to Durga. I completed my B.Tech from a private college.
00:53In between, I did electronics parts.
00:55Because my branch was Electronics and Communication Engineering.
00:58So, I was interested in these things.
00:59But my main aim was to join the Indian Army.
01:02We are from UP. So, we were thinking that engineering is fine, but the main focus should be that.
01:08But in between, I used to feel that Army, is it perfect for me or not?
01:13I gave a lot of attempts.
01:15But in my first attempt, I cleared SSB and got an OTA.
01:18When I went there, I did some work on a drone and rocket before that.
01:22So, I was taking much interest as compared to Army in that.
01:25So, from there, I thought that I will not be able to do it here.
01:28And if I was in LADAR, LASER, then maybe it would have been better.
01:31Then I decided that I will quit from there.
01:33I did my final training there.
01:35And then came back to the North.
01:38After that, I took some training in CIGS Chirala.
01:41I studied about them.
01:42I got some motivation.
01:43Then I started making rockets.
01:45I started flying.
01:46Then I saw that there are a lot of companies in the South who are supporting.
01:49But there is nothing like this in North East.
01:51Secondly, in European countries, kids are molded from 6th class.
01:55There are a lot of technologies.
01:57But what is there in our country?
01:59So, I decided to do something different.
02:01Then I started my own venture.
02:03That is Indian Space Vault & Research.
02:05It was a trust.
02:06Then we converted it into Private Limited.
02:08And the result is in front of you.
02:10Hydrogen fuel cell of the drone.
02:11And that is my own technology.
02:13How did you get this idea when you were in the Indian Army?
02:18Or after that, you wanted to start a startup.
02:21How did this happen?
02:23I was already interested.
02:25Because I started with rockets.
02:27Because I was in the army.
02:29Gun, rocket, technology, robotics.
02:31I have seen it.
02:32And before that, there was an electronics department.
02:34There were different parts in it.
02:35So, I thought that so much news is coming.
02:37Everything is happening.
02:38So, why not be self-made?
02:40After that, I launched the rocket.
02:42After launching it slowly, I made my record of 3 km altitude.
02:45Then I broke it.
02:46As I told you, this is our record.
02:48After that, I wanted to bring all this technology in one form.
02:52So that anyone can learn it.
02:54For that, a drone should come.
02:55Drone pilot should also come.
02:56After that, with the help of a friend, I started designing it.
02:59Then I prepared it completely.
03:00And learned flying.
03:01After flying, there was another problem.
03:03Battery.
03:04Or what support can we have for defense?
03:06Gradually, as we worked, innovative ideas came.
03:09And we completely did it.
03:11Right now, how many products do you have?
03:13What are the innovations that you have done?
03:15Ma'am, right now, I have 2 innovations.
03:18Completely new innovations.
03:19That is our liquid propulsion engine.
03:21Its patent process has been done.
03:22And hydrogen fuel cells.
03:23We are replacing the battery and installing hydrogen fuel cells in the drone.
03:27And after that, we are working on some more innovations.
03:30As I told you, especially for defense.
03:32So that we can give such drones to the Indian Army.
03:35So that our paratroopers, our soldiers can fight on the border.
03:39As like other countries.
03:41A complete security development.
03:43We want to make a war zone for our country.
03:45The drone you told us is for agricultural purposes.
03:49There are other startups and companies that are making drones for agriculture.
03:55What is different in this?
03:57What is its USP?
03:58First, its USP is that it is completely made in India.
04:02We have not purchased anything other than its controller and motor.
04:07It has been developed on carbon fiber itself with a 3D printer.
04:10First design, then development.
04:12And the biggest speciality is that everyone is working on batteries.
04:16No one is getting flight timing properly.
04:18So we are going to remove the batteries and bring hydrogen fuel cells.
04:21This is the most unique thing in this.
04:23Due to which its flight time will increase.
04:25So what is the usual flight time of drones for agriculture?
04:30And how much is yours?
04:31If I talk about my batteries now.
04:33The 25 kg payload drone has 25 minutes, 24 minutes.
04:37If you put a heavy battery, then half an hour.
04:39But when we install the hydrogen fuel cell properly, then it will go for 6 hours.
04:44So from 25 minutes, it will increase to 6 hours.
04:48It will be 100% efficient.
04:51And the weight of the battery is around 4.5 kg.
04:54Its weight is around 1.5 kg.
04:56So we can carry more payload.
04:58That's very interesting and very amazing.
05:01What other innovations can we see in the near future through you?
05:06In defense and in agriculture.
05:08For defense, as I said, the first thing is how to protect the soldier.
05:13How to strengthen our country's border security area, surveillance area.
05:17So we will use drones.
05:19And the engine that I am showing, I am developing that engine in such a way
05:22that it becomes the first engine after the Vikas engine.
05:24Which can be used in our submarine, jet fighter and unmanned aerial vehicle.
05:28Means it can be used in rocket launch vehicle.
05:31Means I want to put my own satellite from my own vehicle in space.
05:35So one side agriculture, one side defense.
05:39Both are very different.
05:41By the way, you are catering to both Jai Jawan and Jai Kisan.
05:45So how is its idea?
05:46Because you belong to a farmer family, that's why you are a farmer.
05:49And because you have been in the Indian Army, that's why you are a soldier.
05:53I would like to understand a little about these two.
05:55It is not necessary that you can serve the country only if you are a soldier.
05:59If you want to serve the country, then you can do it in any way.
06:03I used to go to give a lecture in a jungle about farmers.
06:06Like I am called to schools and colleges for entrepreneurship.
06:09So what I did there, there was a team of very strong women.
06:14Their belief was that drones and rockets mean attack, killing.
06:18So from there I understood one thing,
06:20what can I do in agriculture field?
06:22Then I explained to them.
06:24Then I understood one thing that we can also do artificial rain through a rocket.
06:27Are you doing this now?
06:29Yes, we are starting it now. It's upcoming project.
06:31Since then I adopted agriculture field.
06:33I thought that there should be such a drone that goes into agriculture.
06:36Monitor the crop, see its disease.
06:38We know its health.
06:40Then it should be given proper medicine.
06:43You told in 2020 that you started it.
06:46In 2020, I started the company.
06:48I left work from there and started it.
06:52So since you started the company, we are talking in 2025.
06:56What were your learnings in these 5 years?
06:59How have you grown?
07:01Ma'am see, when I started in 2020,
07:05you know COVID and all,
07:07I am a frustrated person.
07:09The biggest problem was that I registered it as a trust.
07:13There are a lot of problems.
07:15I think we should have patience.
07:17Patience should be there in a startup.
07:19And secondly, people will talk to you,
07:21will criticize you, will support you a lot.
07:23One thing is clear that you have to run alone.
07:28If I am talking about technology,
07:30you have to become a drone pilot,
07:32you have to become an electronics engineer,
07:33you have to become an aerospace engineer.
07:35If you know your job, then get others to do it.
07:38In 2023, when I came to know that startups are coming,
07:41things are happening, then I did private limited.
07:44And I also had a lot of events from college time,
07:47from which I used to participate.
07:49As soon as I started getting support,
07:51I approached for incubation.
07:53And then in 2023, I registered private limited.
07:56After that, my supporters, Madhukar sir, my brother, Arun Bhai,
08:00a lot of people supported me.
08:02And a lot of people also said that nothing will happen.
08:04But nothing will happen.
08:06I had decided that even if nothing happens,
08:08I will do such an invention in which I will be the first.
08:11At least we should try for the moon.
08:14Even if we fall, we will rotate in the stars.
08:16Right now, how many projects do you have
08:20from the Indian Army or in the agricultural field?
08:25Recently, I am getting help.
08:27For example, I am incubating in NRDC.
08:29I have filed my patent.
08:31I am getting support for this.
08:33Six Sigma Healthcare is a company
08:35through which we are providing
08:37medical supplies to the Indian Army.
08:39I am trying my best to approach the Indian Army,
08:41especially to the government.
08:43But there are some problems.
08:45We meet people.
08:47I have met many ministers and CMs.
08:49Yes, we will work.
08:51But right now, we are not getting those things.
08:53Do you think this is the right platform,
08:55the start-up Mahakumar?
08:57Maybe.
08:59We will know how much it is happening for us
09:01after the results come.
09:03We do a lot of expos.
09:05I was at the Uttarakhand Expo.
09:07Many people came there and communicated with us.
09:09But the thing is,
09:11how much do I reach the government?
09:13The biggest problem is this.
09:15If I talk about Atal Dink Dink Lab,
09:17there was an education problem.
09:19I am teaching it in high technology.
09:21If there are 10 labs in a district,
09:23and 2 people have to work in one lab,
09:25they will have to give training.
09:27But 2 people will get jobs.
09:29We are creating wealth, generating employment
09:31and developing skills.
09:33I want the government to pay attention
09:35to this type of technology.
09:37I want the government to support us
09:39in opening such labs.
09:41At least, we will get support from the government
09:43for our engines.
09:45How much support do you think
09:47you are getting from the Indian government?
09:49What support do you need?
09:51I need a lot of support.
09:53The support that I am getting so far,
09:55I have a Startup India Certificate
09:57and a Startup Uttarakhand Certificate.
09:59All we have is that your fund has been passed.
10:01But it has only been passed.
10:03It doesn't reach us.
10:05Schemes are being made,
10:07but I don't think anything is happening legally.
10:09How do you see India's startup ecosystem?
10:11Recently, I am seeing India's startup ecosystem
10:13in such a way that
10:15schemes are being made,
10:17but there are no results.
10:19Till when will the results reach the ground level?
10:21To reach the ground level,
10:23the government doesn't have to come to the ground.
10:25Our proper process,
10:27suppose Startup Uttarakhand told me
10:29that your certification has been passed.
10:31The policy is that
10:33after one month,
10:35we should get a sustainable amount.
10:37We had to get it.
10:39It has been six months.
10:41Now, how much will a person struggle from his side?
10:43That's the matter.
10:45Startups should have jobs.
10:47Give startups a chance.
10:49We are not getting a chance to move forward.
10:51This is my decision.
10:53If nothing happens to me by September,
10:55I will leave India.
10:57I will leave India and go to another country.
10:59But you shouldn't.
11:01India needs such startups
11:03and such innovation.
11:05Startups also need the government.
11:07They should also listen.
11:09They should also be supported.
11:11We really hope that
11:13your message reaches the government.
11:15You should get the support
11:17you need.
11:19Congratulations
11:21for this innovation, for this startup
11:23and all the best. Thank you.
