The state-of-the-art facility is strategically placed for easy trainee access and optimal learning environments. Deepak Bhardwaj, Co-Founder and Director, expressed excitement about the development, emphasising its role in creating skilled drone operators, particularly for agricultural applications.
With an annual training capacity of around 800 individuals, IoTechWorld will offer diverse programs, including Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) courses and specialised RPC+OEM courses.
