Finance & MIS Associate

About the Company

SUIND is an autonomy-first aerial robotics company building reliable, scalable near-earth drone systems that operate in complex, real-world environments; farms, plantations, infrastructure sites and industrial assets where GPS is unreliable and conditions are demanding. Our enterprise platform Bumblebee is DGCA type-certified and already in commercial deployment, and we are actively developing our next platform for inspection and aerial intelligence. Backed by recent seed funding and recognised as a DPIIT startup, we are a small, multidisciplinary team spanning core autonomy, embedded systems, field operations and manufacturing. The work is hard, interdisciplinary and deeply hands-on, building technology from India for global-scale markets.
