Chennai-based drone startup Garuda Aerospace, backed by former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni, has raised ₹100 crore in its Series B funding round led by Venture Catalysts, valuing the company at ₹2,125 crore ($250 million).

The funds will be used to ramp up drone manufacturing, expand production facilities, and accelerate the development of an advanced R&D and testing centre with a focus on defence technologies.
