[00:00:00]I'm a drone company founder and I just got into YC startup school and here's why that's a very big deal.

[00:00:06]Two years ago we have walked into Shark Tank India and flew a drone without any GPS and crashed it on national TV and still managed to get funding from Aman Gupta who is founder of boat. Fortunately the Indian army has picked us for as anx winner and after that we have filed more than 40 patents and now Y cominator said yes. Wait, YC is for just AI startups, right? Or maybe just for software. So why would they pick a company that builds physical robots and uh drones? Because the next wave of AI isn't just about screen. It's about the real world. Inspecting bridges, mapping disaster drones. Flying inside oil refineries where humans can go. At VORS, we don't just make drones.

[00:00:45]We build autonomous spatial intelligence. Our drone Aera sees things and maps all by itself. No GPS, no pilot, no cloud dependency. That's infrastructure grade physical AI and YC gets it. Hi, I am Prem. I'm founder of Vacross. I went from my ideal hostel room to Shark Tank to YC and I'm going to document everything. The playbooks, the mistakes, the real numbers, stuffs founders in India never got to see. If you know a founder who needs to watch this, tag them. India is building physical and the world is about to see
