What mPower does

mPower (Magnipower Technology Pvt Ltd) is a Chennai-based manufacturer of lithium-ion and solid-state batteries designed specifically for professional drone applications. Its product portfolio covers seven drone use-case categories — agricultural spraying, surveillance, survey, mapping, delivery, and robotics — and includes the proprietary iBMS battery management system with thermal control, fault diagnosis, and SoC/SoH monitoring. The company also supplies chargers, inverter batteries using solid-state cells, and a recycling service for end-of-life packs, manufacturing all products domestically under BIS, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model: a self-service e-commerce storefront on mpowerlithium.com with publicly listed pricing, an enterprise Corporate Partnership Program (CPP) for OEM accounts that bundles pricing, warranty, R&D access, recycling, and aftermarket support, and an India-wide dealer network focused on agricultural drone batteries. Drone manufacturers are also supported through Type Certification services in coordination with QCI-approved Certification Bodies (TQ Cert Services, UL India, Bureau Veritas), making mPower a regulatory enabler as much as a component supplier. Custom battery development from prototype through scaled production is offered for OEM clients across 3S to 12S+ configurations in Li-ion, LiPo, and solid-state chemistries.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly hardware sales across 242 listed SKUs, with pricing ranging from approximately ₹1,700 to ₹87,800 per unit, supplemented by professional services revenue from custom development and Type Certification support. The customer base spans 35+ drone OEMs and operators including Garuda Aerospace, Alpha Design Technology, Dhaksha, Urban Matrix, DCM Shriram, and Rattan India. The company is founder-owned, privately held, and bootstrapped, with a 11-50 employee headcount and no external institutional funding disclosed.
