Raphe mPhibr, an Indian drone startup co-founded by siblings Vikash and Vivek Mishra, secured $100 million in an all-equity Series B funding led by General Catalyst. The funding aims to enhance the startup's research and development and local production capabilities amid increasing demand for drones for battlefield operations and border surveillance. This surge in demand is driven by recent conflicts, notably the India-Pakistan war, prompting India to significantly increase its drone spending. Currently, Raphe mPhibr offers a range of drones for various military and logistical applications, catering exclusively to Indian government agencies.
Drones are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in global military operations, with countries opting for them for rapid infiltration and high-impact strikes, particularly during recent conflicts.
Raphe mPhibr aims to strengthen India's indigenous drone capabilities amidst high demand for drones in military operations, supported by a $100 million Series B funding.
The startup has more than 10 customers, all of which are Indian government agencies, including the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force.
