Naman Pushp

Event Description

Naman Pushp is the 21-year-old founder and CEO of Airbound, a Bengaluru-based deep-tech startup disrupting last-mile logistics through ultra-light drone technology. A self-taught roboticist, Pushp turned down an admission offer from Carnegie Mellon University to build his vision, bootstrapping his first prototypes at age 15 with a minimal $500 grant. His relentless focus on cutting-edge aerospace engineering helped him secure early institutional venture backing while still a teenager.

Summary

Today, Pushp leads a world-class team of former SpaceX, Tesla, and Anduril engineers to make physical shipping as cheap and efficient as digital data. Under his leadership, Airbound has raised nearly $10 million from top-tier investors like Lightspeed Venture Partners and engineered an advanced, 350-gram carbon-fiber drone.
