MS Dhoni joins Garuda Aerospace family
Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has joined Garuda Aerospace, as an investor in the company. India's leading drone-as-a-service provider based out of Chennai will also have Dhoni join as the brand's ambassador. Agnishwar Jayaprakash, founder of Garuda Aerospace, commented, "I've always been an ardent admirer of Mahi Bhai & to have him as a part of the Garuda Aerospace family is honestly a dream come true. 'Mahi Bhai is the epitome of dedication & I firmly believe that having ‘Captain Cool’ on our table adds tremendous value which will motivate our team to perform better. 'Dhoni has decided to join us as an investor and brand ambassador. He has seen what we are trying to achieve, and he completely believes in our vision. We couldn’t have asked for a better ambassador and partner. 'We are closing our $30-million Series A round by the end of July, which will value our company at $250 million. This is the largest ever Series A round for any drone company. Since our Prime Minister inaugurated Drone Mahotsav, we have been receiving a lot of interest.”
