Kuwait’s National Day festivities are being marked by a series of breathtaking drone shows, adding vibrant color to the historic ‘Ya Hala’ festival. Over 8,000 drones are lighting up the skies this February. Grand Festival Company is orchestrating the event in collaboration with India’s renowned BotLab Dynamics.
BotLab, an industry leader in drone light shows, has brought its cutting-edge technology to Kuwait. Its team of 15 engineers is executing more than eight spectacular shows. The first of these shows took place at Al Shaheed Park on February 2. Subsequent performances were at Al Khairan Mall on February 7. Followed by shows at Marina Crescent on February 14 and 15. Additional drone displays are scheduled for February 25 and 26 at Al Shaheed Park. This ensures that the skies stay illuminated throughout the festivities.
BotLab’s involvement in Kuwait’s National Day celebrations highlights its growing presence in the global drone industry. The company made a name for itself by setting five Guinness World Records with a 5,500-drone display in 2024. With such achievements, BotLab has emerged as one of the top ten drone light show companies in the world. The company’s innovative approach is helping set global benchmarks for drone performances. This marks a significant milestone as it expands its operations into the Middle Eastern market.
BotLab Dynamics, an IIT Delhi-incubated startup, has already impressed audiences worldwide with its impressive drone displays at major events. Their work includes landmark shows in India, Oman, Sri Lanka, and several African countries. Now, they have made their debut in Kuwait. Each show in Kuwait requires meticulous planning. Engineers spend three to four days to set up and program the drones, which are flown using a proprietary system that converts 3D graphics into pixel formats for precision.
The collaboration between Grand Festival Company and BotLab is the first of its kind in the GCC. Their teams bring their unmatched experience to Kuwait. BotLab has revolutionized drone performances by offering flexible and precise solutions. This makes them the go-to company for large-scale drone shows.
As Kuwait celebrates its National Day, the mesmerizing drone shows not only mark a historic moment but also strengthen the relationship between innovation and tradition. Technology is lighting the way for future celebrations.
