Introduction

It’s not every day that you meet someone who swaps a stable decade-long career in IT to chase flying machines across farmlands and power lines. But Jatin Patel did just that—and in the process, built something extraordinary.

At the helm of Enercomp Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a cutting-edge drone technology company based in India, Jatin has been quietly leading a revolution—one that’s changing how we build, measure, and maintain our infrastructure. In a heartfelt conversation with Indian Startup Times, Jatin opened up about his journey from code to co-founding a company that now works at the intersection of civil engineering, energy, and unmanned aerial systems.

From Code to Drones: Jatin’s Leap of Faith

Jatin’s story is one of courage and curiosity. After over ten years in the world of Information Technology, he chose to veer off the traditional path. “I wasn’t looking for comfort—I was looking for impact,” he tells me with quiet conviction.

Along with his co-founders Anu and Mr. Suresh, Jatin co-created Enercomp with a singular goal: to bring precision, transparency, and speed to industries that had long been bogged down by inefficiencies. And drones, he believed, were the future.

But while many were enamoured by the futuristic flair of drones, Jatin’s vision was deeply grounded. He saw them not just as cool gadgets, but as tools that could solve pressing problems—whether it was measuring vast swathes of land, inspecting utility poles, or planning smart infrastructure.

Reimagining Infrastructure, One Flight at a Time

“Enercomp was never just about flying drones—it was about solving real-world problems,” Jatin says. And true to that mission, the company has steadily carved its niche in the infrastructure and energy sectors.

A proud milestone? The land measurement digitisation project in Maharashtra. Enercomp’s software brought in transparency, reduced disputes, and streamlined land measurement.

The environmental benefits are noteworthy too. “We’ve significantly reduced the carbon footprint typically associated with traditional land surveys,” Jatin explains. That’s thanks to Enercomp’s specialized drones, which are built in-house for endurance and operational efficiency, backed by a dedicated R&D team that’s constantly pushing boundaries in AI, analytics, and aerial capabilities.

Startup Life: Lessons in Hustle, Heart, and Hiring

Of course, the road hasn’t always been smooth. Like most startup founders, Jatin has battled the usual suspects—tight cash flows, the war for talent, and the pressure to grow sustainably.

“The startup world is brutal, but it also teaches you resilience,” he reflects.

To keep his team motivated, Enercomp has built a strong internal culture that thrives on learning, ownership, and mutual respect. Whether it’s financial incentives or giving employees room to explore cross-functional roles, the idea is clear: if the team grows, the company grows.

And Jatin? He’s evolved too. “I’ve learned to step back and trust the team,” he says with a smile. From being the hands-on doer, he now plays the role of a mentor and guide—allowing others to take the lead while he focuses on the bigger picture.

Looking Ahead: Big Dreams, Firm Roots

So what’s next for Enercomp?

Jatin’s eyes light up at the question. “We’re aiming high—literally and figuratively,” he laughs. With plans to expand into new markets, influence national infrastructure policies, and eventually go public, Enercomp is gearing up for its next phase of growth.

What remains unchanged is their core philosophy: solving niche, real-world problems through innovation. “That’s where the real opportunity lies—not in following trends, but in fixing what’s broken,” Jatin says, offering a word of advice to fellow entrepreneurs.

Conclusion

Jatin Patel’s journey—from the world of software to the skies of drone tech—is not just inspiring, but deeply instructive. At a time when buzzwords dominate headlines, Enercomp is quietly doing the work that truly matters: modernizing India’s backbone industries with precision, purpose, and passion.

At Indian Startup Times, we often speak of visionaries. But Jatin reminds us that real innovation doesn’t just look ahead—it looks around. It listens. It solves. And sometimes, it flies.
