The integration of drones (UAVs) in logistics is transforming last-mile delivery, warehouse automation, and supply chain surveillance. As industries adopt drone technology for greater efficiency, the demand for skilled professionals in drone operations, logistics, and compliance is rising. To meet this need, the School of Skill Education (SSE), Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), in partnership with LSC and Skylark Drones - IDEAAS Skills, offers the Post Graduate Diploma in Drone Operations - Logistics.
This program offers specialized training in aerial logistics, UAV-based supply chain monitoring, and automated deliveries. With simulation-based learning, hands-on UAV training, and industry collaborations, students gain expertise in drone applications, operational safety, and regulations. Designed for careers in drone logistics, aerial surveillance, and supply chain automation, it prepares professionals for the future of logistics.
