Harshwardhan Zala
CEO and Founder of Aerobotics7 Tech Solutions
Who am I
At the age of 14, Harshwardhan Zala designed a smart
solution through which drones could not only detect but also defuse landmines
in war fields. The youngster wants to make the world a better place to live.
Remember what you were doing at the age of 15? Probably,
busy playing at a cricket ground with your colony friends or preparing for your
board exams while your parents kept telling you how it will shape your future.
Well, don’t be disappointed because that’s what most Indian kids do at the age
of 15. Just that Harshwardhan Zala from Ahmedabad is not a usual Indian kid.
Known as India’s drone wiz, he already has a handful of patents to his credit
and is the CEO and founder of Aerobotics7 Tech Solutions.
Zala designed a smart solution through which drones could
not only detect but also defuse landmines in war fields. The youngster wants to
make the world a better place to live. “Do you know there are more than 100
million active landmines across the globe? My goal is to create technological
solutions to save thousands of lives across the world, and this is just the
beginning,” he told The Better India.
Son of an accountant father and homemaker mother, Harshwardhan came up with his first invention at the age of 10. He made a remote-control which could be used to control and operate home appliances wirelessly.
There was no such device available in the market back then. It helped his parents realise Harshwardhan’s talent and encouraged him to take it further.
It was then that Harshwardhan began to think about his next creation. He would read books about various problems being faced by the world and visit cyber cafés and watch YouTube videos about these problems. Since he didn’t have access to the internet at home, Harshwardhan started to spend long hours in a cyber cafe. He was often accompanied by his grandfather as Harshwardhan was not allowed into the cafe without an adult.
One day at the cyber cafe, he came across a demonstrative
video, which reflected how people die due to explosions in undetected land
mines. After doing some research, the 15-year-old found that there is no
solution to this problem. So he worked on a prototype and went to different
companies to tell them about his solution.
He went to about 12 companies but was rejected by all of
them which inspired Harshwardhan to found his own company with the money that
his parents put together. After two years, Harshwardhan’s drone was ready to be
unveiled.
The drone goes into the field, surveys the ground and sends
real-time signals to the nearest army base. It is fitted with a wireless
detonator, which can be activated without risk to any human life.
