Zoom piloting projects in India where it will be used with drone systems

Zoom Video Communications plans to go beyond being just a video conferencing network to becoming a collaboration platform, a senior executive said.

The company is piloting some projects in India to find use cases with drone systems, Sameer Raje, general manager and head, India & SAARC, at Zoom Video, told ET.

The company has also launched Zoom Events in India.

“We are launching something for a customer where Zoom meetings are being used on a drone system to provide feedback for geographical mapping and geographical survey, as well as finding missing people,” Raje said. “So, it’s a complete collaboration story. It’s not (just) a meeting application. As technology evolves, it’s (Zoom) evolving in various formats.”
