Economic Times · 2m

Indian space startup Agnikul Cosmos, backed by venture capital and incubated at IIT Madras, is preparing to launch its commercial operations in the next 6-8 months. The company, which has developed a 3D-printed engine, is in discussions with potential clients in industries such as advanced manufacturing and drug development, as well as traditional communication satellites. Agnikul aims to become a leading global player in the small satellite launch vehicle market, with plans to support around 25 launches per year using its mobile launchpad at ISRO facilities. The company's low costs make it one of the cheapest launch vehicle options available.
