About
Aerial Grid builds the awareness, insight, and trust layer for low-altitude airspace.
Our story
Aerial Grid was founded on a single conviction: as drone activity grows, low-altitude airspace cannot remain invisible, fragmented, or ungoverned.
We build Aerial Intelligence - the layer of awareness, insight, and trust between the sky and everyone who depends on it. Our co-founders brought together expertise in distributed systems, hardware engineering, cybersecurity, and systems integration to make that layer real.
We operate as Aerial Grid AG in Switzerland and AerialGrid Private Limited in India. The Swiss parent anchors engineering and platform development. The Indian subsidiary anchors commercial expansion and production scale.
Our mission
Our mission is to make low-altitude airspace safe, transparent, and governed.
We build infrastructure that gives operators the tools to fly responsibly, gives regulators the data to govern accountably, and gives cities and infrastructure operators the visibility to coordinate the sky above their assets.
Our primary public focus is civilian, commercial, and infrastructure-led. The same Aerial Intelligence capabilities can also support dual-use environments where governance, legality, and operational accountability are clear.
Our vision
Our vision is for Aerial Grid to become a foundational infrastructure layer for governed autonomous airspace.
In the coming years, we aim to extend the platform across drone corridors and urban airspace networks, supporting the safe scaling of authorised flight - for inspection operators, public safety teams, infrastructure operations, and the broader drone economy.
Governed autonomous airspace will not arrive through any single product or any single jurisdiction. We are building toward an open, interoperable, accountable foundation.
