India’s ePlane Takes Flight into the Future with Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

ePlane Partners with Dassault Systèmes to Drive Urban Air Mobility Innovation

Bengaluru, October 8, 2025: In a major step toward transforming urban air mobility in India, Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) has announced a collaboration with The ePlane Company, a pioneering aviation startup developing electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The partnership leverages Dassault Systèmes’ powerful 3DEXPERIENCE platform to accelerate ePlane’s aircraft design and streamline certification processes.

By adopting Dassault Systèmes’ cloud-based digital solutions, ePlane is able to enhance its model-based systems engineering and conduct end-to-end digital simulations, significantly improving the pace and precision of design development. The platform also facilitates multidisciplinary collaboration and optimization of complex engineering workflows, enabling faster innovation with high safety and reliability standards.

“Dassault Systèmes’ robust cloud and simulation technologies allow our team to validate complex eVTOL designs faster and more efficiently. The digital continuity achieved across every phase of aircraft development has reduced engineering cycles and de-risked certification milestones,” said Dr. Satya Chakravarthy, Founder and CTO of The ePlane Company.

Established in 2019 by Dr. Chakravarthy, ePlane aims to redefine urban transportation with its e200x—the world’s most compact eVTOL aircraft. Designed with an 8×10 meter footprint, a 115 km range, and a Pilot + 200 kg payload, the e200x represents India’s growing capability in sustainable aerospace innovation.

ePlane is also the first private company in India to receive Design Organization Approval (DOA) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for aircraft in the 2–19 seater category. The company’s Type Certification process for the e200x is currently underway, following DGCA’s acceptance of its application in December 2024. ePlane expects to achieve full certification and operational readiness by 2027–28, with plans to launch its aircraft for air ambulance and urban transport services.

“ePlane’s pioneering efforts demonstrate how digital transformation can redefine aerospace innovation. Using our 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, ePlane is accelerating safe, efficient, and certifiable aircraft development. We’re proud to support their mission for zero-emission, accessible, and sustainable air mobility in India and beyond,” said Deepak NG, Managing Director, Dassault Systèmes India.

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು, ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ 7:
ಕೋರ್ಟ್ ಕಲಾಪದ ವೇಳೆ ವಕೀಲರೊಬ್ಬರಿಂದ ಭಾರತದ ಮುಖ್ಯ ನ್ಯಾಯಮೂರ್ತಿಯವರ (CJI) ಮೇಲಿನ ದಾಳಿ ಯತ್ನ ನಡೆದಿರುವ ಘಟನೆ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಆತಂಕಕಾರಿ ಮತ್ತು ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಿರುವ ಕೋಮು ಆಸಹನೆಯ ಪರಾಕಾಷ್ಠೆಯನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂದು ದಲಿತ ಸೇನೆ ಖಂಡಿಸಿದೆ.

ಸುದ್ದಿಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ ದಲಿತ ಸೇನೆಯ ಸಂಘಟನಾ ಕಾರ್ಯದರ್ಶಿ ಜಾವೀದ್ ಖಾನ್ ಅವರು, “ಭಾರತದ ಅತಿ ಉನ್ನತ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಂಗ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಜಾತಿ ಸಮುದಾಯದ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯೊಬ್ಬರು ಕುಳಿತಿರುವುದು ಕೆಲವು ಸ್ವಯಂಘೋಷಿತ ‘ಸನಾತನ ಧರ್ಮ ರಕ್ಷಕರಿಗೆ’ ಅಸಹನೆಯ ವಿಷಯವಾಗಿದೆಯೆಂಬುದು ಈ ಘಟನೆಯಿಂದ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿದೆ. ದೇಶದಾದ್ಯಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಿರುವ ಕೋಮು ಮನೋಭಾವ ಇದೀಗ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಂಗದ ಮಂಟಪವನ್ನೇ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿದೆ,” ಎಂದು ಆಕ್ರೋಶ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿದರು.

ಅವರು ಮುಂದುವರಿದು, “ಒಬ್ಬ ಹಿರಿಯ ವಕೀಲರಿಂದ ನಡೆದ ಇಂತಹ ಅಕ್ಷಮ್ಯ ಕೃತ್ಯವು ನಮ್ಮ ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ ಗೌರವ ಮತ್ತು ನ್ಯಾಯಾಂಗದ ಪವಿತ್ರತೆಯ ಮೇಲಿನ ನೇರ ದಾಳಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಂತಹ ದುರ್ಘಟನೆಯು ದೇಶದ ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವದ ಮೌಲ್ಯಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಕಪ್ಪು ಬರೆಹ ಬರೆದಂತಾಗಿದೆ,” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು.

ಘಟನೆಯನ್ನು ಗರಿಷ್ಠ ಶಾಂತತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಯಮದಿಂದ ನಿಭಾಯಿಸಿದ ಮುಖ್ಯ ನ್ಯಾಯಮೂರ್ತಿಯವರ ನಡೆಗೆ ಜಾವೀದ್ ಖಾನ್ ಪ್ರಶಂಸೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿದರು. “ಪ್ರತಿ ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ಪ್ರೇಮಿ ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವಾಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳು ಈ ಹೀನ ಕೃತ್ಯವನ್ನು ತೀವ್ರವಾಗಿ ಖಂಡಿಸಬೇಕು. ಅಂಥ ಕೃತ್ಯ ಎಸಗಿದವರ ಪರವಾಗಿ ಸಹಾನುಭೂತಿ ಮೂಡಿಸಲು ಯತ್ನಿಸುವ ಫ್ಯಾಸಿಸ್ಟ್ ಶಕ್ತಿಗಳ ಪ್ರಚಾರವನ್ನು ತಡೆಗಟ್ಟಬೇಕು,” ಎಂದು ಅವರು ಕರೆ ನೀಡಿದರು.

ದಲಿತ ಸೇನೆ ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ ಮೌಲ್ಯಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಸೌಹಾರ್ದತೆಯ ರಕ್ಷಣೆಗೆ ಬದ್ಧವಿದ್ದು, ಕೋಮು ಮತ್ತು ಜಾತ್ಯಾತೀತ ಅಸಹನೆಗೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾಗಿ ಸಮಾಜ ಎಚ್ಚರಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ಇರಬೇಕೆಂದು ಕರೆ ನೀಡಿದೆ.
