A 21 year old's drone startup has raised Rs 325 crore

Naman Pushp founded Airbound in Bengaluru when he was 15, and the company has now raised $37 million.
Greenoaks led the funding round, with DoorDash, Lightspeed, Lachy Groom and Humba Ventures also participating, less than a year after Airbound's seed funding.
The funding will support Airbound's drones, which take off and land vertically like a rocket before transitioning to horizontal flight like a plane.
Airbound aims to make its drones lighter than the cargo they carry, helping the company move goods at a cost comparable to trucking.
