ABOUT US
Engineering ground truth for India
Latrics builds indigenous LiDAR drone platforms and the geospatial intelligence pipeline behind them — from flight to finished deliverable.
MISSION & VISION
What we are building, and why
Two statements that decide every roadmap call we make — the problem we exist to remove, and the country-scale outcome we are working toward.
MISSION
Make survey-grade terrain data ordinary infrastructure.
Accurate 3D capture shouldn't be a bottleneck. We build indigenous LiDAR platforms and the processing pipeline behind them so every field team in India can move from flight to finished deliverable in days, not months.
VISION
A single digital ground truth for the country.
One connected geospatial ecosystem — aerospace, mapping, and sustainable energy systems — that governments, industries, and enterprises can plan, build, and maintain on with confidence.
VALUES
Three principles we build against
They are not posters on a wall — they are the filters we use to accept or reject a feature, a supplier, and a project.
01
Field-first
We build for the site, not the slide deck — every feature is validated against real deployments.
02
Built in India
Airframe to payload, engineered and manufactured indigenously — no dependency on imported platforms.
03
Precision, always
Survey-grade accuracy is non-negotiable — every dataset meets the tolerance the job demands.
LEADERSHIP
The founder behind the platform
Latrics is led from the field. Fifteen years of building ventures shape how the hardware, the pipeline, and the deliverables are designed.
