About GarudX

Engineering the
future of flight.

GarudX Multipurpose Pvt. Ltd. is Nepal's pioneering FPV drone company — designing, manufacturing, and deploying advanced UAV technology for cinematography, industrial surveys, defense, disaster response, and education. Founded in 2018, we've completed over 300 projects, trained 500+ students, and built 6 proprietary drone platforms from scratch.

From flying cinema cameras through Himalayan valleys at 210 km/h to delivering medical supplies to earthquake-affected villages, GarudX is redefining what's possible with drone technology in South Asia and beyond.

Our Values

What drives us.

Mission-Driven

Every system we build serves a clear purpose — from life-jacket drops for Nepal Police to mapping Nepal's most remote terrain with centimetre-level RTK/PPK accuracy.

Safety First

CAAN-compliant operations, redundant flight systems, and rigorous pre-flight protocols ensure every mission meets the highest safety standards — in the air and on the ground.

Innovation Native

We design and manufacture our own UAV platforms in-house — carbon fiber frames, custom avionics, autonomous navigation — pushing the boundaries of what drones can do in South Asia.

Nepal-Born, Global-Ready

Founded in Lalitpur, tested in the Himalayas at 6,120m. Our platforms and pilots are engineered for the world's most demanding environments — then deployed globally.

Journey

Our story so far.

2026

Autonomous Drone & AI Navigation Research

GarudX launched active R&D into AI-driven autonomous flight — developing visual-inertial navigation systems, GPS-denied SLAM-based flight, and swarm coordination algorithms. Research targets search-and-rescue automation and infrastructure inspection without human pilots.
