EON Space Labs, a Hyderabad-based deeptech startup, specialising in imaging technologies, has raised $1.2 million (approx Rs 10.5 crore) in a pre-Series A funding round led by MGF Kavachh along with participation from HHV Advanced Technologies. The proceeds will be deployed to scale manufacturing of its AI-driven electro-optical and infrared payloads, expand the engineering team, and support upcoming product launches, EON said in a press release. Co-founded in 2022 by Sanjay Kumar, Punit Badeka, and Manoj Kumar Gaddam, EON Space Labs is an IIT Madras incubated deeptech startup developing next-generation Earth Observation (EO) imaging payloads for satellites, drones, and ground systems. The startup designs and manufactures miniaturised high-resolution electro-optic and infrared (EO/IR) systems that are up to three times lighter and more compact than conventional payloads, reducing deployment costs without compromising image quality. EON’s flagship products, the MIRA space telescope, which is under validation, and the LUMIRA EO/IR platform, which has been certified to military standards, showcase its vertically integrated model from optical design to in-house prototyping and manufacturing which ensures speed, precision, and control across the entire value chain. The startup is also building global partnerships to tap international markets, with multiple commercial orders already secured following successful proof of concept demonstrations. It plans to launch four new variants of its LUMIRA EO/IR imaging systems, designed for long-range detection of humans, vehicles, threats, and UAVs through drone and ground-based surveillance platforms.
