1. Business and objectives
Value Proposition: Drones are everywhere nowadays, yet they mostly rely on a pilot with a remote control. In order to operate a fleet of drones automatically, safely and cost effectively, we've developed the most affordable copter drones that are controlled using our custom automated platform, rather than relying on a pilot. By harnessing the power of our platform and custom drones we're giving you all the tools you need to start using our drones for drone deliveries, aerial pollination, surveillance & monitoring, mapping and 3D modelling and multiple other industries.
Solution: Custom Built Copter Drone Pay-load lifting multi-rotor drones Customization options include: Camera Heat Sensing 3D Mapping Thermal Sensing Radar Laser Beam Metal Detection Can be customized according to client needs. Custom Platform Our custom platform is an advanced, yet easy to use, online dashboard that brings all the tools you need to manage your fleet of drones - whether your fleet includes a single drone running within an exclusive area, or tens of drones deployed in an entire city. Advanced Routes Management - Define flight routes with unlimited smart way-points. Routes can take off and land from a single center or multiple centers. Smart Way-Points - Use actionable way-points to define different actions across routes. Land with or without recipient approval, wire release from midair, fly though points to fly between trees and other man made obstacles and more. Reports - The most detailed reports for each mission, including full telemetry data, flight play-back, server logs and flight controller reporting. Automatic Preflight - The system automatically performs a full system preflight check before approving each takeoff, verifying hardware readiness, flight route availability, weather conditions and more.

7. Back-up plan
How will you manage your loan repayments if your business doesn’t go according to plan? Your back-up plan should highlight:
What your loan repayments are
How you would manage these repayments in the case of an unexpected event
Why you feel this is a realistic plan
1. We have shifted the risk to consumer by declaring the hardware as assets for the client. 2. 50% payments would be refundable. 3. 20% margin of Profit would be paid after successful deployment of Project. 4. We always can negotiate with the Client and it can vary situation to situation. 5. All the legal Bindings would help to create the Trust between Party A and Party B.
How will you scale a smart community?
-The average 444 acres of agriculture farm frankly just takes time to monitor and check on.
- In Oil and Gas industry, the main methods of inspecting far furlong areas require shutting
down operations, setting rope lines, and sending an inspector into risky areas with a camera.
-Industries owners oversee thousands of censorious processes, while constantly facing
operational warnings such as equipment failure, security violations and disasters.
At Qumaq we have developed an end-to-end autonomous drone solution which is Eco
friendly that addresses the multi-dimensional needs for industries i.e. Farming, Oil and gas
and Industrial facilities and first-aid. The autonomous solution ensure continuous
productivity, safety and efficiency without causing human errors and operation downtime.
Any other information that you would like to share
Among all the projects I led till now, the most fascinating project is Qumaq. One of the
hardest things in life is to create something of your own. It's like raising a child. You invest a
lot of time and effort over a course of several years without anything in return. If you've done

your job right, your child will grow as a responsible human being, capable of taking care of
himself/herself, and hopefully yours at some point. This was the main philosophy behind
founding Qumaq. At Qumaq, I am leading all product design & development from concept to
production, exploring and integrating new technologies in the product stack and designed
electronics for unmanned autonomous vehicles. Qumaq is Pakistan's first start-up to provide
drone technology and on-demand aerial delivery system in remote areas where access through
roads is a challenge. We are aiming to provide our drone technology platform as a service to
healthcare and logistics companies and help in saving countless precious lives in the time of
crisis.
