Boeing works from Bengaluru, and so do Collins Aerospace and GE Aerospace, writing software for aircraft and engines flown around the world. A young Indian industry sits around them in small companies, like ideaForge, NewSpace Research and Technologies and FlytBase in drones, GalaxEye, Pixxel and Digantara in space, and Sarla Aviation in electric air taxis. Bengaluru has almost all the work, with Pune, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad and Chennai through drone, defence and aviation-software companies.
For an engineer, aircraft, drones and satellites run on software inside them. Embedded firmware engineers lead the hiring by a wide margin, and ML engineers for imagery and engine data are more common here than at a typical product company. The door for juniors is wider than average, most of all at the drone and satellite start-ups.

The Market Segments run from the aircraft itself, to the drone, the satellite and the work of keeping an aircraft flying.
Aircraft, engines, cabins and avionics come from companies like Boeing, Airbus, GE Aerospace, Collins Aerospace and Rolls-Royce.
Drones for farms, inspection and defence, and the software that flies them, come from companies like ideaForge, NewSpace Research and Technologies, Shield AI and FlytBase.
Satellites that image the Earth, and tracking of the objects in orbit, come from companies like Pixxel, GalaxEye, PierSight and Digantara.
The records of every check and repair, and the charts and plans pilots fly by, come from companies like Veryon, ForeFlight and Acron Aviation.
