Nalwa Aero is an Indian aviation technology company focused on developing real-world air mobility systems that address critical challenges in accessibility, emergency response, and infrastructure-free connectivity. Founded by Kuljeet Sandhu and formally registered under DPIIT, the company exists to serve regions and sectors where ground-based transport falls short—especially when time, distance, or terrain become barriers.
At its core, Nalwa Aero designs and builds electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. These systems are engineered in India from the ground up, covering propulsion, structure, and flight configuration. Offering both civilian and tactical variants, the company provides a modular, scalable platform built for practical applications across mobility, healthcare, logistics, and defence sectors

Nalwa Aero’s aircraft are developed for roles that require speed, agility, and no dependency on runways—making them ideal for operations in healthcare transport, disaster response, rural supply chains, and precision logistics. Industries such as private emergency services, regional logistics, hospitality, tourism, defence, and industrial inspection benefit directly from the flexibility of vertical mobility. Whether it’s transporting a patient from a remote district to a trauma center, airlifting supplies to an inaccessible site, or connecting resort destinations across rough terrain, Nalwa’s platforms are built to deliver.

All systems are tested and validated under Indian climate conditions and operate on proprietary, patent-backed architectures. The company is led by a team of engineers and aerospace professionals including CTO Nelson Salas, who brings over 28 years of global aircraft development experience.

Honouring the legacy of General Hari Singh Nalwa, the company reflects a spirit of resolve and readiness in every design choice. In 2023, Nalwa Aero was awarded Innovation of the Year in India, and in 2024, its five-seater concept, the Nalwa
