Bengaluru-based space-tech startup aims to provide satellite services to defence agencies globally

Founded in 2018, Digantara is working on the development of end-to-end infrastructure to address the difficulties of space operations and traffic management through its space mission assurance platform. The company wants to make space-map a robust one-stop solution for space launches globally.

Talking to CNBC-TV18 about the startup's plans for the next three years, Sharma said that they plan to launch a constellation of 8 satellites as a part of phase 1 after the Pushan mission.

"Our entire constellation is around 40 satellites. Once this is done we will work towards building a ground-based infrastructure that can also compliment the infrastructure that we have in space and provide services for the satellites which are in the orbit between 500 and 800 km — that is where we see a lot of commercial traffic. We are also working towards providing these services to defence agencies on a global scale," he said.

On another note, Kabeer Biswas, Co-Founder & CEO of Dunzo also spoke to CNBC-TV18 about the trends and future of quick commerce in India.
