The Federation of Aerospace Engineers and Robotics Innovations (FAERI) plays a vital role in strengthening India’s R&D ecosystem by focusing on indigenous technology development in aerospace engineering, robotics, drone systems, and artificial intelligence (AI). Through collaborative research, prototyping, and field testing, we aim to transform bold ideas into scalable, real-world solutions.

With a strong network of engineers, scientists, startups, and institutions, FAERI enables innovation from the grassroots to the national level. Our goal is to develop homegrown technologies that can support defence, disaster response, agriculture, education, and public safety, while promoting self-reliance and Atmanirbhar Bharat.
