About Us

Europe's first independent drone motor manufacturer

Astravidyā was started in 2024 by motor designers, software leads and production veterans who had seen, first hand, what happens when a frontline unit waits four weeks for a shipment that never clears customs.

Manifesto

The European defence base cannot run on parts from a country that may, tomorrow, become an adversary.

So we are taking China out of the most critical part of the modern airframe: the motor.

Mission

Build a strong team of professionals. Establish local BLDC drone motor manufacturing. Develop the manufacturing industry of Ukraine. Scale production to ten thousand motors a month, then ten times that.

Headquartered in Kyiv. Roadmap to scale production across Ukraine and expand into the European market.

Roadmap

From idea in 2024 to 100,000 motors by 2027

Each milestone is documented, with the next set of investments and production targets in clear view.
