A locally built drone was highlighted at a technology summit in Belagavi, where Deepak Shapeti, a Stanford University graduate from Dharwad and founder of Morphing Machines, displayed a petri dish containing a newly made microchip. He described it as among the first chips built indigenously.

A locally built drone was among the highlights of a technology summit in Belagavi, according to The Hindu. The supplied report also focuses on Deepak Shapeti, a Stanford University graduate from Dharwad who founded Morphing Machines. Shapeti displayed a petri dish containing a newly made microchip at the event.

He described the component as being among the first indigenously built chips. The material does not specify the chip’s technical design, intended use, performance or manufacturing process. It also does not identify the drone’s builder, describe its capabilities or say whether it was demonstrated in flight.

No details are provided about the summit’s organisers, dates or other exhibits. The available information therefore records the display of the drone and the chip as features of the event, while offering no further assessment of their development status or commercial prospects.
