AI Inferencing moving to space 🤩
A ‘hello world’ milestone for Project Suncatcher 🚀
After launching our prototype satellite a few weeks ago, we’ve now successfully sent a command up to orbit, booted up the TPU, ran the prompt, and received our first complete response back on earth - a haiku!View quoted post on X
Read more on our thesis here!
Quantum computing has moved beyond proving that it works. The next milestone is making it work at scale.
At Chiratae Ventures, our investment conviction in Quanfluence rests on two beliefs: Photonics offers one of the most promising paths to scalable quantum computing, and India must build and own foundational quantum capabilities rather than depend on technology developed elsewhere.
Founded by a team of semiconductor entrepreneurs and researchers, Bengaluru-based Quanfluence is building a photonic quantum computer designed to operate largely at room temperature.
Aman Raj and Venkatesh Peddi share the technology, the opportunity and the conviction behind our investment.

Fair point on the risk appetite. We’ve been trying to do more of the hard stuff too.
In the last year and a half we’ve put two meaningful deeptech bets.
TakeMe2Space… we led their $5M seed. They’re building orbital data centres — satellites where you can actually run AI models and process Earth observation data in orbit instead of dumping raw files back to Earth.
Quanfluence… we led their $10M. Full-stack photonic quantum computing company. Designing their own chips, electronics and software, aiming for something that can eventually work without extreme cooling. Early processors targeted for 2027.
Still early, but doing our bit to fund frontier innovations from India 🇮🇳

Why are Indian VCs so afraid to take risk and make money?
Someone should go to India and take risk and make money.
