About - Tunga

The Origin

It all started with a few like-minded people who had an unquenchable passion and a monumental patriotism for the country. Being inspired by India, they wanted to give back to the country by equipping its technological front with a completely indigenous innovation. They wanted our commercial segments and the battle forces to be self-reliant through RPAS of world standards developed right here within the country. This gave birth to TUNGA (Technology Upgradation of Naval, Ground, and Air systems) as a brainchild. By employing the brilliant minds from different parts of the country, they gave life to this idea and developed an organization out of it. Today, we stand as a DPIIT recognized start-up and we also have been setting a standard of our own for the world to follow through the development of RPAS with uncompromisable quality.
