From Building Student Rocket to Making Drones for Op Sindoor

What happens when a young Indian's dream is powered by national policy? This is the story of Startup India, iDEX, and Atmanirbhar Bharat in action.
In this episode of GDP@MyGov, we witness the journey of Bodhisatwa Sanghapriya, whose company, IG Drones, became a testament to India's growing innovation ecosystem. From a student inspired by Dr. APJ Kalam and DRDO's launches, he navigated challenges to develop critical technology, ultimately contributing to Operation Sindoor.
This conversation highlights the tangible impact of government initiatives designed to empower our youth. Learn how policies like the 'Namo Drone Didi' scheme and the 'Swamitva' project are transforming lives at the grassroots level, and how a supportive framework is enabling our innovators to build for India and the world.
This isn't just one innovator's journey; it's the story of New India's ecosystem creating opportunities for every citizen. Join us to see the vision of a self-reliant, technologically advanced nation becoming a reality.
