With favorable conditions like the recent change in policies for drones and the various initiatives by our honorable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, to make India the global hub by the year 2020, we intended to launch VFLYX under the umbrella of XBOOM, exclusively dedicated to catering to Consulting, Designing, and Manufacturing of Customized Drones for all the sectors across India."

Few observations as per the World’s adoption of drones:
XBOOM is already a known player in the market for gadgets and technology. However, home-grown drones are most likely to fare better in this atmosphere of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat.’ VFLYX offers advanced features, counter error response programming, easy accessibility via mobile/tab, and an easily usable GUI. With customization, VFLYX is all set to meet industries’ drone expectations and deliver the best results.
XBOOM operates pan-India with offices in Bangalore and New Delhi. With the launch of its new UAV (Drone) division, VFLYX, it is in the process of expanding its footprint in India and overseas. The start-up is already in the process of setting up offices in other key locations in India as well as overseas such as Dubai, the USA, Singapore, and so on.
