Our CEO, @Jain_Shrey_ , shared that space tech in India isn’t held back by imagination. It’s held back by internal demand.
The US spends billions on space because it can justify the need at home. China built its own GPS and space station the same way.
Sovereignty is reason enough to do the same here.

Nine months ago, this did not exist.
Today, India can build its own Fast Steering Mirror. QOSMIC’s FSM has cleared thermal vacuum and vibration qualification, both on the first attempt.
The FSM is the fine-pointing core of every optical link: satellite to ground, satellite to satellite, ground to ground. It holds a laser locked on target while everything around it moves, making hundreds of tiny corrections every second.
To put that precision in perspective: lay a grid over Rashtrapati Bhavan. From 500 km above your head, our FSM is designed to point a laser link at any single point on it.
Only two or three suppliers worldwide build this class of hardware. So we built ours.
From nothing to space-qualified in under a year.
Built to survive launch. Now it waits for one 👀

The bottleneck for satellite data isn't in orbit. It's in the last 20 km of atmosphere.
At LASER World of Photonics India, our CTO @RohitKR79 made the case for 6G optical feeder links: a quantum link is the same optical link with an unforgiving signal. Build the ground stack for high-capacity optical, and the quantum highway runs on the same road.
He also pushed for true self-reliance on the quantum panel: indigenisation means owning the component design, testing, and process, not just final assembly.

QOSMIC has been granted a US patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We've been working toward this for just under a year, and it's a proud day for the whole team.
For decades, optical ground stations have been built around one assumption: if you want to collect more light from a satellite, you need a bigger telescope. Past a point, that stopped making sense.
Our optical ground station uses an array of phased telescopes acting as one aperture. It's the architecture behind ARGUS, and it turns a ground station from a fixed piece of infrastructure into something modular, that scales with the constellation it serves. Both uplink and downlink.
Why this matters now: as satellite data moves from radio to light, the ground has to keep up. The constellations going up need far more data brought down, faster and more efficiently than today's stations can manage. This patent embodies the core of how we solve that.
The ground stations of the next era won't look like the ones we have today. This is just the start, and we're moving fast.
