What's the endgame? Founded in November 2024 by Om Rana, Prakash Ramachandra, and Shridhar YB, Zoppler develops indigenous RF sensing products and a vendor-agnostic decision and autonomy platform. Its technology integrates sensing, intelligence, and response across airborne, ground, naval, and future space domains.
Powered by Edge AI, the company's open architecture lets defence organisations upgrade existing systems with advanced sensing and decision intelligence — without replacing legacy infrastructure.
Why it matters: Zoppler supports both localized and networked autonomy, allowing multiple assets to share intelligence and coordinate mission-critical responses. The startup says its platform enables faster decision making and interoperability across varied operational settings.
The signal: Beyond defence, Zoppler sees dual-use demand across critical infrastructure, ports, airports, energy, industrial facilities, and logistics — sectors where real-time sensing and intelligent decision making are gaining ground.
