ideaForge Co-founder & CEO Ankit Mehta said, “ideaForge is happy to be associated with Florintree, which has a track record of helping organisations unlock enterprise value. ideaForge has grown 10X in the last two years, and we will use these funds to invest in R&D, international expansion and building a world-class team. We want to continue creating high-performance, reliable and autonomous drones that inspire the adoption of this technology.”
Mathew Cyriac, executive chairman at Florintree Advisors, said, “Florintree has been tracking the drone sector closely for the last two years, and ideaForge is one of the few globally competitive full-stack players in the sector with scale and profitability.
