In the lush green hills of Ooty, the tea plantations stretch as far as the eye can see – a picturesque sight hiding a silent struggle. For decades, the women laborers who pluck tea leaves have endured exhausting uphill climbs carrying heavy sacks of freshly harvested leaves. Each step they took cost them time, energy, and – most importantly – income.
At SKYX Aerospace, we knew there had to be a better way — and we found one.
Tea plantations in Ooty thrive across steep hills and rugged terrain. Each morning, women laborers are dropped off near their designated areas to begin plucking tea leaves.
The process seems simple — until their sacks are full.

To solve this, we introduced a custom-built Logistics Drone tailored for the plantation landscape.
The drone was designed to:
How It Works:
This innovation wasn’t just about technology – it was about empowering workers, saving time, and improving quality.
In a region where tradition meets agriculture, SKYX Aerospace’s Logistics Drone has redefined what’s possible – proving that sometimes, the best solutions aren’t just high-tech… they’re human-focused.
The hills of Ooty now echo with something more than the rustling of tea leaves — they echo with opportunity.
