Naman Pushp is the Co-Founder and CEO of Airbound, a Bengaluru-based deep-tech aerospace startup building the world's most advanced blended wing body tailsitter drones for last-mile delivery.

Naman began building robots as early as 5th grade while living in Malaysia, competed in school robotics competitions by 8th grade, and turned down a CMU admission to pursue his drone startup full-time at age 17.

Naman founded Airbound at just 15 years old in 2020, driven by a conviction that rethinking aircraft architecture from first principles could crack the economics of drone delivery and make it as cheap as truck freight.

Under his leadership, Airbound raised a $37M Series A led by Greenoaks with participation from DoorDash, Lightspeed, and Lachy Groom, bringing total funding to nearly $50M, and secured a landmark agreement with the state of Andhra Pradesh to build a three-city drone delivery network.

Airbound's aircraft have been deployed in healthcare logistics pilots with Narayana Health, the company plans to operate up to 10,000 flights per day, and its technology is designed to enable 100km deliveries at a fraction of conventional logistics costs.
