India is not just reaching for the stars — it’s building the highways in space. In a bold and futuristic leap, an IIT-Bombay incubated startup, InspeCity, has secured a staggering $5.6 million in seed funding to reshape the future of satellite servicing and in-space operations.
InspeCity is not your regular startup. It’s crafting the next generation of in-space servicing and satellite life-extension technologies, an area set to redefine how we maintain, repair, and upgrade satellites in orbit — without ever bringing them back to Earth.
At the heart of this vision lies:
Propulsion systems
Robotic servicing units
Docking and proximity operation technologies
All being built in-house, under one roof.
With the funding boost, InspeCity is now full throttle towards launching its demonstration satellite mission by 2027, where it will test its own proprietary propulsion systems in space. The startup is developing a platform called VEDA (Vehicle for Life Extension and De-orbiting Activities) — a service that could revolutionize space sustainability by extending satellite lifespans and reducing debris.
This isn’t science fiction. This is India boldly innovating in a market projected to exceed $14 billion by 2030!
While the US and Europe lead the space tech narrative, InspeCity is charting a path to make India a key player in space robotics, satellite refueling, and space debris mitigation. With collaborations spanning from Asia to cutting-edge ventures like laser-based debris removal, InspeCity is weaving India into the very fabric of space innovation.
India is no longer a follower in space — it’s becoming a trailblazer. This funding marks more than a business milestone. It’s a signal that home-grown innovation, nurtured at institutions like IIT-Bombay, can lead global conversations in high-tech, high-impact industries.
For aspiring entrepreneurs, tech visionaries, and investors: the stars are no longer the limit. With startups like InspeCity leading the charge, India’s space economy is open for business — and DhanTax is here to support every mission, from funding strategies to global compliance.
