A founder who helped build India’s drone industry is now building the defence against them.

@singhamardeep was part of the founding team at ideaForge. Today, he’s building @ArmoryShield, developing indigenous counter-drone systems to strengthen India’s sovereign defence capabilities.

This is the story of Amardeep Singh and Armory, in Episode 2 of Antler's Obsessed Outliers.

What if your devices, apps and agents knew what you wanted?

You finish breakfast, and your Uber is booked.
Running late, your agent sends a “Running late” text.
You reach home, and your lights turn on.

AI is proactive now. But it still needs your yes. It waits, for you to unlock your phone, open an app and tap approve. Every time, hundreds of times a day.

AI needs its own interface.

Aina is a ring with a screen that predicts and shows you the three things you’ll need next. One flick of your thumb, and it’s done. For everything.

✦ Cues: proactive suggestions, ready before you need them
✦ Voice: talk to your agents, take notes, dictate
✦ Remote: control your music, Mac and TV
✦ Calls: right from your hand

Proud of what @samiksha0396 and team @inlane_in are building!

Met the team from LANE, a Bengaluru-based tech-driven driving school and mobility platform.

They offer structured driving courses with vetted instructors, helping learners build confidence in real-world traffic conditions, along with licence and RTO assistance. They have also developed LaneBuddy, their proprietary platform that uses smartphone sensors and AI to assess driving behaviour, identify risky patterns and provide real-time feedback to drivers.

We discussed how such technology can support our Traffic Police in understanding driving patterns, identifying risky behaviour and improving road safety through data-driven interventions.

As we take forward Karnataka’s Urban Mobility Mission, innovations like these can play an important role in smart traffic management.

What if delivery riders could earn more without having to ride more?

That's exactly what Dispatch Network is building. Founded by Rajit Arya and Navneeth Kannan, the startup uses AI-powered logistics to optimise rider utilisation, reduce empty miles, and improve rider earnings. It has already powered 100,000+ deliveries since it’s launch in June.

Dispatch Network has raised ₹5 crore in pre-seed funding, with Antler India leading the round.

Congratulations to Rajit, Navneeth, and the entire team! Onwards and upwards. 🚀

A founder who helped build India’s drone industry is now building the defence against them.

@singhamardeep was part of the founding team at ideaForge, one of India’s pioneering drone companies. Today, he’s building @ArmoryShield, developing indigenous counter-drone systems for the evolving threats of modern warfare.

With its SURGE counter-drone system, Armory is advancing homegrown technology to strengthen India’s sovereign defence capabilities.

This is the story of Amardeep Singh and Armory, in Episode 2 of Antler’s Founder Stories series: Backing obsessed outliers before it’s obvious. We are privileged to be part of this journey.

18 years ago, I helped pioneer India’s drone revolution as a founding member of ideaForge.

After years spent working with our armed forces along the Pakistan and Bangladesh borders, and with paramilitary forces in the jungles of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, I’m on a mission to build India’s defence against the very drones I once helped build.

At @ArmoryShield, we build counter-drone and electronic warfare systems in India, end to end: RF front ends, electronics, firmware, software and AI models. Designed, developed and manufactured in-house, on our own IP.

Grateful to early believers like @antlerindia, @growxventures, @dexterangels, @industrial47, AC ventures and our angels.

Sovereign Defence. Nothing less.
