Description

Sarla Aviation, an Indian electric air taxi startup, recently secured $10 million in Series A1 funding led by Accel, with participation from prominent angel investors.




The company, focusing on higher-payload, shorter-range aircraft suitable for India's congested cities, aims to launch commercial operations in Bengaluru by 2028, expanding to other major cities thereafter.




Funding will support R&D, team expansion, and prototype development. Sarla Aviation plans to offer air taxi services at competitive prices, comparable to premium car services, eventually reaching affordability levels similar to auto-rickshaws.




The company will also provide a free air ambulance service.
