Our aim is to develop a more flexible form of mobility—one that allows people to move efficiently across both land and air while remaining grounded in practicality and safety.

Narendra Karadia is a visionary designer with a global perspective, forged at the world's leading automotive brands. His journey began with a transportation design degree from Coventry University and postgraduate studies at the prestigious ArtCenter Europe.

Karadia's professional career launched at Volkswagen Group headquarters in Wolfsburg during a pivotal era of expansion of an automotive empire as it integrated iconic brands like Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Škoda, and Seat—an unparalleled experience in multi-brand strategy and design.

He further honed his expertise in senior positions at Ford Europe, Jaguar Land Rover, and Audi. For the past 15 years, Karadia has been at the forefront of the automotive industry's transformation, working in China and witnessing its rise as a global force first hand.

This unique journey—spanning Europe's legacy and China's disruptive innovation—has equipped him with the profound knowledge to found KARRIA. His core philosophy is to innovate and create design-led concepts that challenge conventions. This principle is the foundation of KARRIA.

Where Road and Air Converge

Narendra Karadia

CEO & President of Design KARRIA

At KARRIA, our mission is built on a foundation of core values that guide every design, material, and manufacturing choice we make.

To realize our vision, we have mastered the generation of advanced materials and fabrication.

Our expertise is embodied in our core structure: a lightweight carbon fibre sandwich construction, utilizing resin infusion. We complement this with aerospace-grade titanium and aluminium alloys for high-stress components like landing gear and control systems.

Complementing this is our mastery of large-scale 3D printing, which we use to create precise, low-waste moulds. This allows for radical design freedom and rapid iteration.

With sustainable and advanced manufacturing processes our multi-material strategy—fusing advanced composites, metals, and additive manufacturing—is how we create vehicles that are not just concepts, but robust, efficient, and certifiable realities.

Pioneering the Manufacturing Process

Engineering with Principle

True safety is built on guaranteed control. We prioritize direct, analogue pilot authority and innate aerodynamic stability as our primary safety layer, viewing electronic systems as vital supplements, not replacements.

Our designs are dictated by functional efficiency, not stylistic compromise. We create singular forms that are inherently optimal for both flight and road environments.

Uncompromising Safety

Aerodynamic Truth

Our values

Empowered Freedom

We build vehicles to liberate our customers from infrastructure and boundaries. Our focus on STOL and off-grid capability provides unparalleled physical access.

Principled Pragmatism

We balance visionary goals with real-world execution. We navigate regulatory landscapes intelligently, delivering tangible capability today while building a clear, certifiable path for tomorrow.

Team news

Our emergence from stealth mode marks a pivotal moment in our journey. To date, we have operated as a small, focused team. This allowed us to move with agility, protect our foundational intellectual property, and validate our core technology without distraction.

Now, with our patents secured and our platform proven, we are entering our next phase of strategic growth. In the coming months, we will be announcing key additions to our team and forging partnerships.

Stay tuned for announcements.
