How it works

Three taps to a drone pilot.

Built for people who need sky coverage — not a project-managed agency. Set your location and shoot type, pick a pilot, and they're wheels-up.

01

Tell us what you're shooting.

Real estate, wedding, inspection, cinema. One line about the shoot is enough. We use your location to find pilots within range.

02

Pick a pilot.

See portfolios, DJI & Autel gear, hourly rate, distance. Filter by verified only, shoot type, rating. No agency, no middleman.

03

Book & pay securely.

Razorpay holds payment in escrow. The pilot gets paid only after you mark the shoot complete. Refund policy in plain English.

For everyone

Two apps. One marketplace.

Clients find pilots. Pilots run a business. Both inside one dark, fast, built-for-mobile app.

● Clients

"Booked Arjun at 9pm for a 6:30am shoot next morning. He showed up early, the footage was gorgeous, payment was seamless. This is what I wish every vendor app was like."

"Being a DGCA pilot used to mean chasing clients on WhatsApp. Now I just accept shoots and fly. Made ₹42k last month on SkyKraft alone."

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Are SkyKraft pilots DGCA licensed?
Yes. Every pilot uploads their DGCA Remote Pilot Certificate, and our admin team reviews it manually before the pilot can accept any booking. You'll see a blue Verified mark on their profile.
How do payments work?
Bookings go through Razorpay escrow. You pay when you book; we hold the funds. The pilot is paid 90% automatically, within 24 hours, after you mark the shoot complete. If the pilot cancels, you get a full automatic refund.
What cities is SkyKraft available in?
Live today in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi NCR, and Bangalore. Rolling out to Hyderabad and Chennai in Q2 2026. Pilots in other cities can sign up — you'll be notified when we go live near you.
Do I need special permissions to fly a drone in India?
Yes — the DGCA classifies airspace into green, yellow, and red zones. Flights within 5km of an airport or inside a no-fly zone require prior approval via Digital Sky. Our pilots handle all DGCA compliance; you just tell them the location.
Can I chat with the pilot before booking?
Yes. Tap any pilot card to open SkyChat — share shoot details, reference images, or location pins before confirming. No booking required to start a conversation.
How do I become a pilot on SkyKraft?
Download the app, pick Pilot on role selection, complete your profile (gear, shoot types, base location), upload your DGCA license, and wait for manual verification — typically under 12 hours. Then accept bookings and fly.
