About Us

Welcome to RPAS Aerial Solutions LLP

RPAS Aerial Solutions also called “RAS” is a creation of its founder’s belief that the terminology may keep changing but one thing remains constant – the unprecedented growth of technology and in our case, it is Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS). That is what RPAS Aerial Solutions is all about. RAS has evolved ever since it has come out independently. The enterprise is a one-stop-shop for all drone-related requirements that are needed by customers and students alike; be it drone pilot training, testing or application-based services and even drone consultancy.

RAS has more than 40 decades of training experience behind them contributed by its management and instructors across the domains such as defence, technology and people management. We have personnel from the armed forces who have been in this domain for a  long time and add value and guidance to the company and to its clients. Following SOPs and maintaining the quality of training as per the DGCA (Director General Civil Aviation)  guidelines and service delivery with safety is paramount. Our main aim and endeavour is to upgrade skills and knowledge for employability and growth for an individual, organisation and finally the country.
