About Apollyon Dynamics
Apollyon Dynamics is a startup founded by two BITS Pilani students, Jayant Khatri and Sourya Choudhury. The company was born after the duo secured orders from the Indian Army units across multiple states.
The Story Behind Apollyon Dynamics
Jayant Khatri and Sourya Choudhury, both 20-year-old engineering students, built their drones with off-the-shelf parts and customised the systems for Indian terrain. They pitched their drones to Army officers via cold messages on LinkedIn.
“I just started shooting cold emails to whoever I could find… Luckily, a colonel responded and called us to Chandigarh for a demo,” Jayant Khatri said Monday.
The duo’s standout product is a kamikaze drone that hits speeds over 300kmph, five times faster than standard commercial UAVs, and delivers 1kg payloads with pinpoint accuracy.
