Project Vyom:
Redefining the Stratosphere with Autonomous Balloons
We're making the sky accessible. Chalke Industries delivers intelligent, altitude-controlled balloon technology that stays exactly where you need it—for days, not hours.
Challenges We're Solving
The skies above us hold immense potential—but current solutions just aren't cutting it. We're addressing the problems that have kept aerial monitoring grounded for too long.
The Coverage Gap
Satellites are miles away; drones only last for hours. When you need continuous eyes in the sky, the options are surprisingly limited—until now.
The Cost Barrier
Launching satellites costs millions. Most organizations need aerial data, but can't justify the astronomical expense of getting it consistently.
The Control Problem
Traditional balloons go where the wind takes them. We've cracked the code on altitude control, giving us the power to stay exactly where needed.
Introducing Project Vyom
Our dual-balloon architecture gives us what no other aerial platform has achieved: precision altitude control. It's an elegant solution to a complex problem—using physics to our advantage. We stay exactly where you need us, for days on end.
How It Works
Our balloons use intelligent air management to control their altitude with precision.
Finding the sweet spot in the atmosphere, we use wind patterns to maintain desired positions.
Our autonomous systems adapt in real-time to maintain station-keeping for days, not hours.
Key Advantages
Project Vyom delivers significant benefits over existing aerial monitoring platforms, combining the best aspects of satellites and traditional balloons.
Persistent Monitoring
Maintain station for days or weeks at a time, providing continuous data and coverage unlike traditional platforms.
Precision Altitude Control
Dynamic altitude adjustments from 10,000 to 70,000+ feet, optimizing for different applications and weather conditions.
Cost-Effective Operation
Up to 90% more affordable than satellite solutions for comparable coverage, with simpler deployment and recovery.
Rapid Deployment
From arrival on-site to operational altitude in under 60 minutes, enabling quick response to emerging situations.
Our Technology
We've reimagined what's possible in the stratosphere. Project Vyom combines physics, materials science, and computational intelligence into a platform that simply works.
Key Systems
Smart Altitude Control
Our balloons navigate vertically through the atmosphere with precision, finding and maintaining optimal positions without constant power requirements.
Extended Operations
Solar-powered systems and efficient energy management enable days of uninterrupted operation without refueling or ground intervention.
Versatile Payload Capacity
Designed to carry various sensor packages, cameras, and communications equipment for applications ranging from climate monitoring to connectivity.
Team & Vision
We're autonomous systems and embedded engineers, with a passion for aerospace applications and advanced manufacturing, united by a simple belief: the sky shouldn't be the limit. It should be the starting point.

Our Mission
To transform how we gather data and provide connectivity from the sky by creating a sustainable, cost-effective aerial platform that remains exactly where it's needed, for as long as it's needed.
Meet Our Full TeamOur Vision
We're building a stratospheric constellation of autonomous balloons that will transform how we monitor our planet, respond to disasters, bridge communication gaps, and collect critical atmospheric data.
Long-term Goals
- 1
Create the world's first commercial stratospheric balloon constellation
- 2
Develop asymmetric defense capabilities for democratic states
- 3
