The company targets four of the world's most congested cities: Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Pune, with a vision to make aerial ride-sharing as affordable as current Uber or Ola rides. Sarla Aviation serves a diverse array of customers, including daily commuters and business travelers, by providing an efficient and accessible mode of transportation. The company operates in the urban air mobility market, focusing on sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. Sarla Aviation's business model revolves around offering aerial ride-sharing services, generating revenue through ride fares similar to traditional ride-hailing services. The company is backed by a team of international experts with experience from leading eVTOL companies like Lilium, Wisk, Archer, and Joby. Sarla Aviation is committed to safety, affordability, and innovation, drawing inspiration from Sarla Thakral, a pioneering woman in aviation.
