BANGALORE: Starting a company is not an easy task especially when the market you are in is not always conducive and business friendly. When thinking of starting a company, the founders will also need to come out with a niche idea that will give them a cut above the rest.

The ugly truth about startups is that not all of them will become huge companies or get the recognition that they were thinking of. Many startups actually disappear as fast as they appeared. So, in this competitive economy of India what are some of the unusual startups and what are they doing to keep afloat amongst the vast competition? Here is a list of them with input from ET.

Skylark Drones: Co-founded by Mrinal Pai, Skylark is one of the first of its kind companies that are into developing drones for domestic use. The drones that are manufactured by this company will be customized machines that can carry tasks like land survey, shoot photos, advertise and keep an eye on sports. These are just a few of the capabilities of these machines.

Pai has revealed that the biggest problem for them to manufacture drones on a full scale level is not the problem with technology or money but with regulation from the government. This is an interesting concept and it is going to be an interesting journey to see this company unfold in the years to come.
