DJI Neo
In the drone field this took best under ₹35,000. It is not the crowned answer (DJI Avata 360 is), but here is exactly where it earns its place, and where it gives ground.

Why it might win
Under 135g, no licence needed in most places, launches from your palm
Why it might not
Short flight time and no FPV goggle support
The lowest-friction way in
At under 135g it slips past a lot of the registration hassle heavier drones carry, and it launches straight from your palm with no controller required. At ₹34,990, it is ₹85,000 cheaper than the crowned Avata 360, and it is genuinely how most people should start.
Built for quick clips, not long flights
Flight time is short and there is no way to fly it through FPV goggles, so it stays a point-and-launch selfie drone rather than the immersive, fly-through-the-scene tool the Avata 360 is. A fair trade for the price, just a different category of drone.
