From building video games as a school student to designing world-class aircrafts before turning 20, Naman Pushp embodies Airbound\u2019s obsession with hard engineering and impossible problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raised in Malaysia and educated at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, Naman discovered his passion early, tinkering with robotics in middle school and creating his first prototypes from MDF and aluminum sheets. At 15, he began working on his first aircraft, determined not to chase another app idea but to build something tangible that pushed the limits of physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While his peers were preparing for college, Naman was fabricating his first aircraft prototype using scrap materials and a $500 micro-grant from GradCapital. That small bet became the seed for Airbound, a company built on the belief that India could lead in aerospace manufacturing by engineering from first principles, not imitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, Naman leads Airbound as a hands-on engineer founder, deeply involved in design, manufacturing, and controls. He describes himself as a \u201cCTO playing the role of CEO,\u201d and his leadership philosophy reflects that: solve for the hardest problem, build for scale, and never compromise on engineering purity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under his direction, Airbound has emerged as one of India\u2019s most ambitious deep-tech companies, turning breakthrough hardware into infrastructure for the global logistics economy. His story, from a school-built box frame to a fleet of carbon fiber aircraft, mirrors the spirit of Airbound itself: methodical, relentless, and impossible until it is done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11555,"menu_order":0,"template":"","team_designation":[],"team_department":[67],"class_list":["post-11556","team","type-team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","team_department-speakers"],"yoast_head":"\n
