Built by engineers who live in the certification world

Glidepath Technologies was founded on a simple premise: avionics certification is too important, and too difficult, to be treated as a checkbox exercise. We exist to do it properly.

Office meeting

Glidepath Technologies was established in Bengaluru, India, by engineers with deep roots in avionics software development, verification, and certification. Our founders have spent over 15 years inside programs where DO-178C compliance was not optional, where software failures have real consequences and where certification schedules govern program outcomes.

We have worked on data acquisition units, flight control software, avionics communication systems, and safety-critical embedded platforms across commercial and defense aviation. We have sat on both sides of the DER desk, as developers and as independent verifiers.

Glidepath was created to make that depth of expertise accessible to newer, leaner aerospace programs, particularly electric aviation startups and emerging OEMs who need certification-grade engineering without the overhead of a large prime contractor.

Our model is simple: we embed with your program, we deliver certification-ready artifacts, and we stay accountable until the SAS is approved.

Our values

What we stand for

Airplane Vision

Certification-first thinking

Every engineering decision is filtered through the question: will this survive a DER review? That discipline makes programs faster, not slower.

Accountable, not just advisory

We do not just review your work and write findings. We take ownership of the deliverables we commit to, end to end.

Right-sized process

DO-178C compliance does not require bureaucratic overhead. We scale plans and documentation to your DAL and schedule.

Transparent engagement

You always know where the program stands. We surface issues early, not at the SOI audit.
