Deep-tech startup VyomIC has raised Rs 14 crore (about $1.6M) in a pre-seed funding round led by Speciale Invest along with participation from BYT Capital and DeVC. The proceeds will be used to advance the development of its LEO-based PNT (Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) payload, support its spaceborne demonstration mission, and scale team hiring and business development efforts, VyomIC said in a press release. Co-founded by Lokesh Kabdal, Vibhor Jain and Anurag Patil, VyomIC builds satellite constellations to deliver highly accurate, secure, and sovereign Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services from Low Earth Orbit. It aims to power the next generation of autonomous systems, secure infrastructure, and mission-critical operations with centimeter-level positioning and nanosecond-level timing without relying on foreign-controlled navigation networks like GPS or GLONASS. VyomIC’s LEO-PNT system integrates onboard atomic clocks, encrypted signal layers, and AI-powered orbit determination algorithms to offer real-time, high-integrity navigation, especially in urban, contested, or GNSS-denied environments. Its signal architecture is designed to be jamming-resistant and spoofing-proof, making it ideal for defence, finance, aerospace, telecom, and beyond. The Chennai-based company’s technology aims to deliver spoofing-proof and jamming-resistant signals, overcoming the fragility of existing systems like GPS, GLONASS. With LEO satellites, the system offers high precision, faster convergence, stronger signal power, and better coverage in urban and signal contested environments. VyomIC plans to launch a full-fledged constellation to serve global users with secure, real-time navigation and timing services.

Snippets Dashamlabs raises Rs 12 Cr in seed round led by Speciale Invest Co-founded in 2024 by Ankit Jhanwar, Apoorv Balwani, and Devakar Dhingra, Dashamlabs is a deep-tech materials company manufacturing silica-aerogel-based flexible sheets and insulation materials. Dashamlabs, a materials science company pioneering high-performance silica aerogel insulation materials, has raised Rs 12 crore in a seed funding round led by Speciale Invest, with participation from IIMA Ventures. The proceeds will be used to expand its R&D and production capacity, build pilot systems and collaborate with partners across oil & gas, EVs, defense, and construction to validate and scale its aerogel products, Dashamlabs said in a press release. According to the Delhi-based startup, its proprietary technology enables the production of flexible silica aerogel sheets with ultra-low thermal conductivity, high-temperature stability (from -150°C to 1000°C), hydrophobicity, and fire resistance. The company focuses on optimizing ethanol-based supercritical drying while advancing toward ambient-pressure drying for scalable and cost-efficient mass production. “We’re on a mission to make energy-efficient materials accessible across industries. By scaling advanced aerogels made in India, we aim to enable cleaner, safer, and more efficient technologies globally,” said Ankit Jhanwar, co-founder & CEO of Dashamlabs.
