Hyderabad technology to reshape critical cargo movements across
The Chennai Angels (TCA), one of India’s leading angel investment networks, is investing LogiXair, a Hyderabad-based aerospace and logistics technology company building automated, hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft for middle-mile cargo movement. The round also saw participation from the Kerala Angel Network and Lead Angels.
Founded by Bhanu Teja Chidura and Pulla Kapil, LogiXair is addressing a critical gap in India’s logistics ecosystem: Fast and reliable movement of cargo across sub-600 km routes, particularly between metros and Tier II and Tier III cities. Its proposed cargo aircraft platform is designed to carry up to 300 kg over a range of 600 km, enabling faster, infrastructure-independent delivery without dependence on roads, rail networks or conventional airport infrastructure. The company is addressing critical logistics challenges across sectors including e-commerce, healthcare, manufacturing, defence, humanitarian relief, and remote connectivity.
As supply chains demand greater speed, resilience, and efficiency, LogiXair’s technology has the potential to reshape how critical cargo moves across regions where traditional logistics infrastructure is limited. For LogiXair, the investment will support the company’s journey as it advances the development and commercialisation of its autonomous cargo aviation platform, contributing to the evolution of India’s logistics infrastructure and reinforcing the country’s growing leadership in deep-tech innovation.
Commenting on the fundraise, Founder Bhanu Teja Chidura said on 10 Aug, “We are excited to have The Chennai Angels join us on this journey. Their support strengthens our mission to build the next generation of short-haul aerial logistics infrastructure. This investment strengthens our ability to accelerate product development, validate key aircraft systems, and move closer to building a scalable autonomous cargo aviation platform for India and global markets.”
Investment Director from The Chennai Angels (TCA), Ashish Mehta added, “Bhanu Teja Chidura and the LogiXair team are taking a distinctive approach to autonomous hybrid-electric cargo VTOL aircraft for middle-mile logistics. They have made strong technical progress toward full-scale flight while securing commercial interest across multiple routes in India. With growing opportunities in both commercial logistics and defence, we believe LogiXair is well positioned to lead the next generation of autonomous cargo aviation.”
