Zomato's Deepinder Goyal ventures into aviation with LAT Aerospace
Deepinder Goyal, co-founder of Zomato, just invested $20 million in LAT Aerospace—a startup aiming to make air travel cheaper and more accessible for smaller Indian cities.
This is part of a $50 million fundraising push to bring new aircraft and better infrastructure to places that usually get left out.
LAT Aerospace aims to connect Tier 2, 3 cities
LAT Aerospace is working on planes that can take off and land from small 'air-stops' close to where people live and work.
By using over 450 mostly unused airstrips across India, they want to connect Tier 2 and 3 cities with frequent, low-cost flights—making flying an option for way more people.

Their goal: fill the gaps in regional aviation so affordable flights aren't just a big-city thing anymore.
