Sanlayan Technologies, a strategic electronics startup, has acquired a majority stake in Dexcel Electronics, a 20-year-old embedded systems company. This acquisition will strengthen Sanlayan’s ability to deliver advanced indigenous solutions that support national security and drive technological innovation in critical sectors such as defense, aerospace and space. Founded by former Zetwerk employees Abhijit Kothawale, Rohan Gala, and Rahul Vamsidhar, Sanlayan raised $4.4 million in its seed round last year from prominent institutional investors, including Gemba Capital, Singularity Ventures, and others. Dexcel has contributed to major defence and space projects, including Jaguar and Sukhoi aircraft upgrades and ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1 missions. “Joining forces with Sanlayan represents a transformative step for Dexcel. This partnership will manifold our R&D investments, enabling us to deliver impactful solutions to our customers,” said Amit Kumar Sinha, CEO & Managing Director of Dexcel Electronics Designs. Rohan Gala, CEO of Sanlayan, said the investment in Dexcel will scale its core capabilities to address challenges in embedded electronic systems. Sanlayan and Dexcel will showcase their innovations at Aero India 2025 from February 10 to 14.
