These services are planned in all the cities where Zypp Electric is operational such as Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Pune. All the deployed drones will be equipped with smart lockers which can be opened only through an OTP pin provided to the customer which will ensure the safety of the items at the time of delivery. Making drones cheaper, faster and smarter will solve a great deal of the logistics gap which Zypp Electric has in the current model which sometimes gets hampered due to traffic in hilly terrain and long distance deliveries, the company said.

Zypp Electric is looking forward to making the deliveries smoother and smarter across various locations. Zypp Electric and TSAW Drones' partnership will help take last-mile deliveries to the next level." said Akash Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO of Zypp Electric.

Zypp Electric is a leading EV-as-a-Service electric mobility platform which is clocking rapid growth in oeprations and revenue.

The drones are equipped with a highly optimised propulsion system along with battery drain monitoring. The drones are also connected to a cloud network for safe operations. Each and every operation is monitored remotely by system admin. Every flight is performed using a set of predictive and preventive AI algorithms which are novel and proprietary technology of TSAW. The drones are capable of detecting any anomaly and making a decision based upon the situation to alter the flight. TSAW drones aim to make last mile delivery autonomous too, in true nature. TSAW Drones also aims to capture the market opportunity of Military Logistics, Port Cargo movement, intra-city deliveries (warehouse to warehouse) and air taxi in the near future.
