Signal Strengthening...
As we head into the second half of 2025, Dhruva Space is building on a strong foundation of trust, capability, and meaningful collaboration. May and June marked two exciting partnerships that speak to the heart of what Dhruva Space stands for: strategic global cooperation and impactful full-stack Space solutions to enhance life on Earth
This season also witnessed a historic milestone for India’s human Spaceflight ambitions, as Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla piloted the Axiom-4 mission to the International Space Station; a proud moment for India and a powerful symbol of how far Indian Space talent has soared.
Global Confidence, Indian Capability
🇫🇷 Sodern Onboard LEAP-2!
Our partnership with Sodern , a subsidiary of ArianeGroup , signifies more than just an upcoming mission, it’s a marker of the trust and credibility India’s NewSpace ecosystem is rightfully earning on the global stage.
As our teams gear up for this upcoming LEAP-2 hosted payload mission, where Sodern’s HORUS star tracker will fly aboard our P-30 satellite, we’re proud and excited to bring this collaboration to orbit.
This announcement was made during the the HCIM Business Delegation to France and Italy led by Hon'ble Minister Shri Piyush Goyal, and jointly organised by FICCI and Confederation of Indian Industry. CEO Sanjay Nekkanti and CTO Abhay Egoor represented Dhruva across high-level engagements with leaders in Government, Manufacturing, Deep Tech, and Space Tech.
🌏 EO, End-to-End
Through a vertically integrated approach to Earth Observation-as-a-Service (EOaaS), Dhruva Space has partnered with SatSure and KaleidEO to deliver mission-ready, insight-driven EO capabilities.
While Dhruva Space provides the satellite platform, launch services, and ground segment infrastructure, our partners lead the data processing, analytics, and sector-specific intelligence, unlocking actionable insights for agriculture, infrastructure, insurance, and beyond.
This collaboration represents a powerful convergence of upstream and downstream pioneers in India’s private Space ecosystem, building a solution that is fully indigenous and proudly aligned with the Make-in-India vision. Together, we’re demonstrating what’s possible when Indian innovation comes full circle – from orbit to outcome.
💫 From Earth to ISS
Last month, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla became the first Indian National to pilot a crewed capsule to the International Space Station, a landmark moment not just for Indian Space exploration, but for every aspiring Spacefarer in the Nation.
Conversations Shaping Space
🚀 A Meeting with SpaceX
In a special moment for Dhruva Space, our CEO Sanjay Nekkanti had the opportunity to meet Gwynne Shotwell, President and COO of SpaceX, during an industry interaction in Bengaluru.
📡 Indian Space Congress 2025
The recently concluded India Space Congress 2025, organised by SIA-India , served as a valuable forum to address some of the most pressing issues shaping the NewSpace sector.
Keyur Gandhi , Director – Space Regulatory & Policy, Dhruva Space, contributed to key discussions, particularly those focused on Ground Station-as-a-Service (GSaaS) and Space Insurance – both critical pillars in the evolution of India’s Space infrastructure.
Indo-U.S. TRUST
The APCO - USIBC - US India Business Council - SIA-India report 'A Pathway Based in TRUST' – launched at the recently-concluded India Space Congress 2025 – outlines the roadmap for faster growth in the Indo-US Space-Tech sector.
Under the broader TRUST (Transforming the Relationship Utilizing Strategic Technology) initiative, the report identifies major collaboration potential in satcom, launch vehicle and satellite manufacturing, and Geospatial services.
Dhruva Space is pleased to have contributed to this report and the ongoing bilateral Space cooperation dialogue between the United States of America and India.
✨ ISRO YuViKa 2025
The next generation of Space talent is both inspired and inspiring.
For the third consecutive year, we were delighted to host students from ISRO and NRSC’s 'YuViKa' (Yuva Vigyani Karyakram / Young Scientist Programme), a two-week residential initiative designed to ignite curiosity and build early awareness around careers in STEAM and Space Technology.
☄️ Coming Soon: World Space Business Week 2025, Paris
