India has tried building gas turbine engines before. And we’ve come close.
At LAT, we want to get past the finish line. So we’re putting together a propulsion research team in Bangalore, focused solely on building gas turbine engines from scratch. Lightweight. Efficient. Flight-ready. Made in India.
What’s different this time?
We’re giving engineers the freedom to think, build, break, and repeat. Our dedicated research centre — with labs for combustion, turbomachinery, thermal systems, and materials, will give engineers the space and freedom to iterate fast, and get to real outcomes at a speed which is unprecedented in the industry.
Also, this team will be led by engineers. No waiting around for approvals from "business" people. No chasing slides or meetings. Just hands-on problem solving, running bench tests, working with suppliers, building hardware from scratch — and pushing the limits of design and physics every day.
It won’t be easy. But if it works, it changes everything. A full engine stack, built locally. Powering STOL aircraft. UAVs. Remote connectivity. Self-reliance.
If you’ve ever built turbines, rotors, control systems — or anything close — and want to be part of something that could one day, rewrite history, write to us at [email protected]

A very unfortunate post. While it may have been with good intentions - it reinforces every possible negative stereotype of techbros and quite justifiably so:
- waving a wad of tech dollars as a solution to every problem
- posing technology as a solution to every problem
- (hard to put this politely) know-it-all attitude. since one night's jam was due to a choke point - that must be the root cause.
- (unintentionally) gaslighting the population in this region. do they need ML/AI to know what the choke points are? (Hint: NO)
Finally - as a techbro myself - this is the antithesis of sensible engineering. One DOES NOT double down on a thesis based on one data point. The bottleneck to Bangalore's traffic problems is not identifying bottlenecks. This is exactly how not to go about building new products. Talk to your customers first.
In the spirit of being constructive - here's an illustration of what real problem is.
- the entire ORR is a bottleneck. It does not have the capacity to serve the zillion sq ft of tech parks built on it.
- here's the famous Iblur crossing - pointed out with giant X in the map below. Sarjapur road and ORR are completely jammed here.
- Because there's simply NOT ENOUGH ROAD to take commuters to EcoSpace/EcoWorld and other tech parks on ORR (pointed out with right arrows from ORR)
- A long standing proposal is the Green Arrow. Take commuters from Sarjapur Rd to Ecoworld/Ecospace - via the road running through the Wipro campus.
- This would dramatically reduce commute length, hence lower traffic and add new capacity to the entry/exit from these campuses.
- yet there is ZERO chance of this materializing. This would require POLITICAL WILL and INTEREST. Getting buy in from Wipro, augmenting secondary roads on the backside of Ecoworld/Space and connecting them.
- in general - ORR needs parallel throughways on either side to augment overall capacity and this is a good illustration of how even a minor effort in that direction would help. ORR is THE Bottleneck.
to any engineers who have come this far - @ppitti 's post illustrates a standard mis-diagnosis of complex systems problems:
➔ When a system is UNDER CAPACITY - every component will look like a bottleneck.
If a carry bag has a capacity of 5kg and you put 10kg in it - and the handle breaks - then the handle will look like a choke point - but the real problem is the bag was not designed to carry 10kg. If you fix the handle - something else will break.
The ORR is like a 5kg rated carry-bag that is being forced to carry 100kg. It can never work unless it's capacity is majorly augmented - and all the choke points are simply symptoms of the disease - not the disease itself.
Our defence systems have been upgrading equipment for the last decade and today we feel proud that our country is capable of defending itself and its citizens well
Hats off to tax payers for support and the government for not losing focus on this agenda.
