📣 @venomicsai has raised US$2.7M in its first institutional round, co-led by @spc and @SpecialeInvest, with participation from Operators Studio. They are building a drug discovery platform, on India's venom biodiversity!

Venomics was founded by Prof. Kartik Sunagar (@venomdetective) and Dr. Vinay Prabhu (@vinayprabhu). Kartik is an evolutionary biologist and @iiscbangalore professor who has spent 2 decades studying venoms and anti-venoms. Vinay is a CMU PhD and repeat founder, who's spent his career building AI at scale. We met them at SPC India earlier this year.

Some of the most important medicines of the last few decades began with venom. Captopril, Ziconotide, and the whole GLP-1 story behind Ozempic. Yet, most molecular diversity in venom is still unexplored, because searching meant one painstaking experiment at a time.

Venomics is changing that. The timing is right. Protein language models can now read and reason about peptides at scale. India is one of the richest biodiversity regions on Earth, with barely a sliver of its venom sequenced at the peptide level.

The hard part is turning the discoveries into drugs.

It won't be easy. But we believe in this opportunity to discover, what might change medicine forever.

Congratulations Kartik, Vinay, @Purba40912954 and the entire Venomics team! We're proud to support you, and can't wait to see where you go.

Physical AI Demo Night at SPC India, was stacked with some seriously cool builds! 🤖

Here's a glimpse of how Indian founders are taking AI beyond the screen.

In partnership with @ElevCap and powered by @AWS!

When maximally ambitious builders meet a moving frontier, just 18 months is all it takes.
To change everything.

Coming soon.

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 👀
