Prakash Rajan on How Talora Is Redefining Operational Standards

Prakash Rajan is Vice President of Sales at DextraData Aviation Technologies, where he spearheads digital transformation through Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) solutions.

Aircraft IT: How did Talora by DextraData Aviation Technologies get started?
Talora was created in response to a clear shift in airline expectations. Logipad became a trusted EFB platform across major operators worldwide, but as operations became increasingly data centric, our customers needed a more modern, modular and connected solution. Instead of stretching Logipad beyond its original boundaries, we made the decision to build a next generation successor from the ground up. Talora draws on more than 20 years of operational experience, redesigned with a wider mission: to support the full operational ecosystem—flight crew, cabin crew, maintenance, OCC, dispatch and ground personnel with a unified platform that is contemporary, intuitive and ready for the next decade of aviation.

Aircraft IT: What is the guiding business principle that drives DextraData Aviation Technologies?
Our core principle is to bring clarity, stability and simplicity into an operational environment that is often unpredictable. Aviation deals with constant change from weather and schedules to workload and regulatory pressure, so technology must reduce friction, not add to it. Every solution we build reinforces reliability, improves workflow efficiency and integrates seamlessly into existing ecosystems. Above all, we design tools that support crews and operations teams in working smarter, more safely and with greater confidence.

Aircraft IT: What is the difference between your upcoming system Talora in comparison to your current system Logipad?
Talora is the complete successor to Logipad, built on a brand new architecture that goes far beyond a traditional EFB. Logipad will remain supported, but Talora becomes the long term platform airlines will migrate to as they modernize.

Functionally, Talora includes a wider suite of operational modules such as navigation charts, e checklists, aircraft performance, and mass & balance. Future phases will add dynamic driftdown, dynamic operational risk analysis, and an e cabin module, allowing cockpit and cabin workflow alignment within the same ecosystem.
