Hi, Please do add the CoRE stack: https://core-stack.org/

The CoRE Stack (Commoning for Resilience and Equality) is a digital public infrastructure consisting of datasets, pre-computed landscape level indicators, and tools, that can be used by rural communities and other stakeholders to improve the sustainability and resilience of their local landscapes. It aims to enable innovators to build upon and contribute their own datasets, use APIs for third-party apps, and track and monitor socio-ecological sustainability through a systems approach. The CoRE stack broadly consists of four layers. First, using ML on satellite imagery we are producing novel geo-spatial layers on changes over the years in cropping intensity, water-table levels, health of waterbodies, forests and plantations, and welfare fund allocation, among others. Second, these help generate rich analytics on diverse socio-ecological indicators. Third, tools that use these underlying datasets and analytics enable communities to build a shared understanding about their landscape, align on informed action to improve the resilience and sustainability of their landscape, monitor its progress, and report insights. Fourth, these tools have relevant plugs to integrate their outputs, including community demands, for public and private landscape funding mechanisms that can especially support community stewardship of landscapes.

Quick Summary

Aviation strategic consideration

Lats Aviation backed by Mr deepinder goyal’s mission to transform regional Indian aviation using hybrid-electric aircraft is bold and visionary. However, from a business execution perspective, building aircraft from scratch introduces significant risk in certification, capital, time, and technical complexity and to include a healthy competition in the market

This proposal suggests a scalable, lower-risk path:
launching with SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel)-ready, used turboprop aircraft configured for low-cost, high-density operations. These can immediately serve Tier 2/3 cities where infrastructure is minimal and demand is rising.

Retrofit proven turboprop aircraft (like ATR 72s) to run on SAF blends, and launch cost-efficient, sustainable passenger and light cargo services from short runways and regional strips.
Why This Strategy Works

Faster Time-to-Launch:Proven airframes (ATR 72 / Dash 8) are readily available and certified for passenger operations.
SAF-Ready:These aircraft are already certified for SAF blends (up to 50%) and can contribute to LAT’s green aviation goals immediately.
Lower Per-Seat Operating Costs: Larger turboprops spread fuel and crew costs over more passengers versus smaller 19-seaters.
Avoids Long R&D Cycles:No need for deep-tech development timelines or electric propulsion risk at early stage.
Proven Track Record:These airframes operate worldwide in exactly the kind of sectors LAT aims to disrupt.

Fleet Suggestions
ATR 72-500/600 Dash 8 Q200/300 68–74

Dual-Use Synergy

Day:Regional passenger service
Night: Fast cargo/logistics for dispatch
AirHub Model: Compact terminals + short airstrips + no long security queues = low turnaround, high frequency

Execution Roadmap

  1. Acquire 3–5 used SAF-ready turboprops (ATR 72 or Dash 8)
  2. Refit for high-density, low-cost cabin (IndiGo/Ryanair style)
  3. Launch in top Tier 2/3 city pairs with airstrip access
  4. Use real-time performance to scale ops and gradually introduce hybrid R&D or 100% saf from a position of revenue

Final Thought

This can lead the green aviation revolution in India now, using SAF turboprops to establish presence, routes, and revenue while building a hybrid-electric future in parallel.

This approach ensures capital efficiency, faster go-to-market, and scalable sustainability.

Prepared for internal strategic consideration.
