The ePlane Company teamWhile much of the EV action is on the ground, the human fascination for flying has not left the sector untouched. Some small electric aircraft are already being commercialised in the advanced economies, but startups in India aren’t too far behind. The ePlane Company is co-founded by IIT-M professor Satya Chakravarthy and his student Pranjal Mehta. They are currently testing a scaled-down prototype and expect to have their first cargo plane ready as early as next year. That means, commercialisation will be around 2025, starting with the cargo plane, and the passenger version will follow.
