TRAJECTRON SPORTS LAUNCHES ARAWN – INDIA’S FIRST ADVANCED PRECISION AIRGUN


• Built for enthusiasts and connoisseurs, this premium airgun comes with a host of features previously only offered by international players

• The pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) airgun, Arawn, is Trajectron Sports’ inaugural product and will be available across India through its growing network of dealers and distributors
• Arawn reflects Trajectron’s commitment to delivering global standards of flawless engineering equipment in the field-shooting category under the Make-In-India initiative.

MUMBAI, 27th FEBRUARY, 2025 (NHM): Trajectron Sports, India’s youngest licensed airgun manufacturer today launched its inaugural product – Arawn, an advanced airgun custom-built for premium field-shooting enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Arawn is regarded as India’s first, most advanced and indigenously designed and manufactured pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) airgun – offering global standards in quality at the most competitive prices.

Founded by Pramod Paulose, MD & CEO, Trajectron on-boarded two more co-founders – the reputed adman and serial entrepreneur, Prahlad Kakar and a seasoned banker, Brian D’souza. Besides their common vision to build one of India’s most cutting-edge engineering products companies, all three leaders also share a deep passion for airguns and field-shooting. The company started manufacturing Arawn in early 2025 and plans to take the value proposition to niche markets, including domestic and international shooting communities.

Commenting on the launch of Arawn, Pramod Paulose, MD & CEO, Trajectron Sports, said, “Today marks a milestone for us at Trajectron and the Indian airgun sector. With the launch of Arawn, we have taken a shot at manufacturing excellence – offering an advanced world-class product at competitive pricing. It would be safe to say, we went all guns blazing into our vision to design and produce India’s very own precision PCP airgun. I would like to thank my co-founders and the entire team for their contribution to not only a product, but a revolution in the Indian airgun industry.”

The Indian airgun industry is estimated to be $3 billion and growing. Its robust growth is riding on several factors including improved purchasing power, traditional status and cultural relevance, rising interest in shooting sports, accessibility of online platforms and technological advancements in design. However, multiple bottlenecks such as lack of indigenous options, absence of physical touch and feel, and import-specific factors such as longer timelines, higher costs, hiccups in payment, and issues in service & support often dissuade collectors and enthusiasts, severely limiting their options.

“Being an avid field-shooting enthusiast, I along with my co-founders have experienced these challenges personally. Hence, when we connected through a chance meeting, we decided to pull the trigger to pursue our passion for a Make-In-India advanced PCP airgun”, said Prahlad Kakar, co-founder, Trajectron Sports. “The airgun is an ode to our collective passion for the sport and more importantly, it’s an engineering marvel enhanced with the latest technology, yet retaining the simplicity of point and shoot!”, further added Prahlad.

The company will sell Arawn through its growing dealership network comprising dealers and distributors across India. The company plans to further market the product across international markets by late 2025 opening up a wide vista of possibilities for growth.

ABOUT TRAJECTRON & ARAWN

Trajectron was born from the passion of Pramod Paulose, a renowned airgun expert, who partnered with advertising legend Prahlad Kakar and seasoned banker Brian D’Souza to create an indigenous PCP airgun that meets global standards. Arawn is a culmination of this dedication, offering Indian shooting enthusiasts a superior alternative to imported airguns, with world-class quality and seamless service support.

“Dreamscapes & Realities” Solo exhibition of Paintings by Artist Pramod Nagpure At Nehru Centre Art Gallery, Mumbai From 25th Feb to 3rd March, 2025



NATIONAL, 24 FEBRUARY, 2025 (NHM):
  A Solo exhibition of Paintings “Dreamscapes & Realities” by Artist Pramod Nagpure at Nehru Centre Art Gallery, Discovery of India Building, Dr. Annie Besant Road, Worli, Mumbai. The exhibition runs from 25th Feb to 3rd March, 2025 from 11am to 7pm. 

A painting is not merely an arrangement of colors on a canvas; it is a reflection of the artist's experiences, dreams, and emotions. Each artwork in our exhibition vividly captures these sentiments and thoughts. By exploring diverse themes, we have made a humble attempt to portray the different shades of life through our paintings. One of the paintings highlights the stark contrast between the old and the modern world. It portrays the deep connection people once had with nature, the abundance of free-roaming birds and animals, a passion for reading, and a devotion to spirituality. In contrast, another painting comment on today's world, where people are obsessed with mobile phones, surrounded by concrete jungles, and living in an environment tainted with increasing pollution and neglect. Some paintings beautifully blend imagination and reality. One such artwork depicts the moment when a bolt of lightning strikes a stone idol, breathing life into it. The transformation unfolds gradually, with the top part being fully animated while the bottom remains a lifeless stone.

The delicate bond between a mother and daughter is another recurring theme. In one painting, a mother playfully teases her daughter by making funny faces, while the child sits with a sulking expression. Another artwork shows a mother admiring her neatly dressed daughter with pride. In a striking visual, a mother gazing into a mirror does not see her present reflection but instead witnesses her own childhood. Elsewhere, a daughter lovingly embraces her mother in a warm hug. Another fascinating concept features a gigantic butterfly with human figures standing around its wings, blending seamlessly with its beauty. In the painting titled ‘Mermaid’, a woman is seen releasing fish into the sea from a glass jar. Another artwork presents a serene young woman resting peacefully on a large peepal leaf floating on water. In yet another creative interpretation, the peepal leaf transforms into an island, surrounded by paper boats, a lighthouse, and toy cars, adding a unique perspective to the composition. Among the fusion of modern and traditional art styles, the paintings ‘Red Dress’ and ‘Blanket’ deserve special mention. The artwork titled ‘No Mobile’ stands as a powerful reminder, urging the younger generation to break free from mobile addiction and rekindle their love for books and spirituality. Traditional sketches of Goddess Saraswati and Radha-Krishna also leave a lasting impression. One painting captures a young woman delicately applying vermillion to her forehead like a stone idol, while another showcases a little girl tightly clutching her beloved doll amidst a sea of toys.

Each artwork in this exhibition reveals unique emotions and offers a glimpse into the various facets of life. The skillful blend of colors, expressions, creativity, and realism makes these paintings truly captivating. Every piece reflects the artist’s dedication and the intricate details that bring it to life. This exhibition is not just a display of colors; it is a heartfelt celebration of human emotions, imagination, and creativity.ENDS
