Ten years ago, ANRA Technologies began as little more than an idea, a belief that the future of aviation could be smarter, safer, and more connected. In 2015, we took a simple prototype to a small security event in Washington, DC, with just one intern by my side. We came home with the Coolest Technology Award and more importantly, the conviction that we were onto something meaningful.

That spark was the beginning of a journey that would take us across continents, through countless challenges, and into partnerships with some of the most forward-thinking organizations in the world, from Fortune 50 enterprises and air navigation service providers to research powerhouses like NASA and DSTL.

Over the past decade, we’ve grown from a two-person dream to a global company with teams and offices across five locations, united by one shared vision: to shape the future of unified airspace and advanced aviation.

This hasn’t been an easy road. We’ve seen the industry rise, evolve, and reinvent itself, and we’ve done the same. We’ve weathered the ups and downs, the long nights, the uncertain moments, and the breakthroughs that made it all worth it. We’ve seen brilliant people join us, some move on, and sadly, some we’ve lost along the way, but each has left an indelible mark on our story.

To everyone who’s been part of this journey, inside and outside ANRA, a heartfelt thank you! You’ve helped build not just a company, but a community. From day one, when NASA first published the UTM research paper, we knew this was about more than technology. It was about shaping a new ecosystem and making a real impact on the way we live, work, and connect.

ANRA was never meant to be just another company. It was meant to be a vision, a family working together to build something bigger than ourselves. The people who choose to be here every day could work anywhere, yet they stay because they believe in what we’re building together. That humbles me more than I can express. I am proud and deeply honored to call this team my colleagues, my friends, and my family.

And for those who may not know, ANRA itself carries something deeply personal. It stands for Anjika and Ragnea, the initials of my two daughters. From the start, this was about building something with purpose, something that would endure and make the world a little better for the next generation.

As we mark ten years, I am filled with gratitude, for every person who believed in this mission, for every challenge that made us stronger, and for every success that proved what’s possible when vision meets perseverance.

Here’s to the next decade of innovation, collaboration, and impact. The skies ahead are bright, and we’re just getting started.
