Mumbai, 27th August 2026: As drone technology continues to evolve beyond specialised applications and finds growing relevance across education, technology and innovation, building early familiarity with drones, programming and emerging technologies is becoming increasingly important. Hands-on learning platforms can help students move beyond theoretical concepts and develop practical understanding of drone technology and programming. Aligned with this opportunity, Creative Newtech Limited (NSE: CNL, BSE: 544631) has entered into a Distributor Agreement with Drona Aviation Pvt. Ltd., appointing Creative Newtech as a PAN India distribution partner for Drona Aviation’s educational drone kits and related products. Under the agreement, Creative Newtech will leverage its pan-India distribution network and market access capabilities to expand the availability of Drona Aviation’s products across customers and channel partners in India. The partnership brings together Drona Aviation’s education-focused drone technology with Creative Newtech’s distribution and market-development capabilities, creating an opportunity to make accessible, hands-on drone learning solutions available to a wider customer base across India. Drona Aviation’s product portfolio is designed to make drone technology accessible to beginners, students and STEM learners. Its Pluto 1.2 DIY Drone Kit lets users build, program and fly their own drone with no prior experience required. With block programming, smartphone control, altitude hold, Wi-Fi connectivity and OTA functionality, along with 16 hours of learning content and 25+ programming projects, it provides a structured introduction to drone concepts and programming. For more advanced exploration, Pluto X offers a modular platform with sensor and hardware integration, API-based programming in C++ and ROS-compatible image processing, enabling users to experiment and develop their own applications. The portfolio also includes Guru, a nano-drone for beginners and STEM education, featuring block coding, smartphone control, external sensor and servo integration, along with structured learning and programming content.
