Vayu, Inc.

Vayu builds affordable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for healthcare supply chain management and post-disaster aid delivery.

Currently, healthcare providers and disaster relief responders in Asia, Africa, and South America depend on unreliable ad-hoc availability of motorcycles, cars, and trucks to serve remote communities, where over one billion people live all or part of the year without access to all-weather roads.

Their vehicle will provide reliable, fast, and affordable delivery of vital goods to these isolated areas, both on a regular basis and in times of crisis.
