    The three of us lived in Silicon Valley, New York, and Munich. What united us wasn’t geography—it was India. Like my co-founders Shivam Chauhan and Rakesh Gaonkar, I always wanted to change the future for the better. But we realized that the ‘developed West’ didn’t hold the same potential for true, transformational impact. The largest economy in history wasn’t in the West—it was right here, in India. So we left behind what we knew, packed our visions, and came to India with a mission: to build the mass mobility backbone for a Viksit Bharat. 🇮🇳 Fast forward, and today Sarla Aviation is no longer just an idea. We’re a team of 20 brilliant individuals, including talent from Joby Aviation, Lilium, and Volocopter, all working together to shape the future of flying taxies in India. In less than a year, we’ve built something beyond my wildest expectations, and I couldn’t be more grateful to work alongside such a dedicated, inspiring group and Co-Founders - wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else Shivam Chauhan Rakesh Gaonkar This journey has only just begun. #ViksitBharat #eVTOL #MobilityRevolution #SarlaAviation

    We are pleased to announce a strategic partnership between Hunch Mobility and Sarla Aviation, effective from October 1, 2024, marking a major step toward transforming transportation with electric taxis in India, starting with Bengaluru. This is our first domestic partnership in the journey to build India’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem. The collaboration focuses on the joint development of eVTOL infrastructure, route identification, and market analysis, laying the groundwork for a future of electric taxis in India. Together, we aim to streamline sustainable air travel, reduce congestion, and explore Sarla-manufactured aircraft for future use. Both companies will also work toward shaping India's AAM policy, developing the certification roadmap, and expanding industry and investment partnerships in the coming years. Sarla Aviation’s innovative air taxi technology, combined with Hunch Mobility’s strong foothold in urban air mobility, is set to democratize short-haul flights, making them more accessible and affordable for commuters. #ElectricAirTaxis #eVTOL #FutureOfTransport
