Building the Drone-first Physical AI Era

WHY?

Breakthrough happens when the right people are in the same room

NestGen Retreat aims to offer a rare pause: a 5-day residential unconference built around confidential discussions for leaders to step back from daily firefighting and spend time with peers who truly understand their world.

The drone-autonomy industry is entering a defining decade; and the challenges aren’t simple anymore: Operational complexity. Scale. Reliability. Regulation & RoI.

WHO IS IN THE ROOM

High signal. Hand-picked.

This is a curated gathering. Every attendee is chosen for what they're solving, not who they know. Money doesn't buy access. Impact does.

FAQ

The details that shape the NestGen Retreat experience

What is NestGen Retreat?

NestGen Retreat is an invitation-only residential retreat bringing together 40 pioneers scaling autonomous drone operations. It's a 5-day un-conference in Jaipur, India focused on peer-driven learning, confidential discussions, and solving the hardest challenges in drone autonomy.

Who gets invited?

What does "residential unconference" mean?

Unlike traditional conferences, there are no vendor booths or product pitches. All 40 attendees stay under one roof for 5 days, participating in peer-led discussions, focus groups, and case labs. Sessions follow Chatham House rules: everything is off-the-record to encourage candid exchange.

Is this a FlytBase sales event?

No. NestGen Retreat is a peer-learning event. FlytBase serves as the host and facilitator, but the value comes from the community: operators and solution providers sharing what's actually working in the field.
