India GameChanger really learned a lot from this discussion with Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy, a co-Founder and Tech Lead at ePlane.ai.  ePlane is building a flying taxi for faster commutes in cities, a transportation system to change the world.

Some of the topics that Satya covered:

• Attending the India Institute of Technology Madras, becoming an Aerospace Engineer
• Building one f the world’s largest combustion research centers in academia
• Drones, the importance of wings, and how to fly slowly
• When you try to add the advantages of a plane and a drone, you also get the disadvantages
• Teaching the first class of electric aircraft propulsion in the world
• Building a platform for shared air mobility?
• Asset utilization and a comparison to road-driven shared mobility
• How deeply ensconced India is in aerospace manufacturing
