Bengaluru-based spacetech startup Digantara has raised $50 million in a Series B funding round, marking one of the largest recent financings in India’s private space sector and underscoring growing investor confidence in sovereign space intelligence and defense technology. The round saw participation from 360 ONE Asset, SBI Investments Co Japan, entrepreneur Ronnie Screwvala, along with continued backing from Peak XV Partners and Kalaari Capital. The raise reflects strong momentum behind Indian deeptech startups building globally relevant infrastructure platforms. Founded by Anirudh Sharma, Digantara began as a space situational awareness company focused on tracking orbital debris and objects in space. It has since evolved into a full-stack space surveillance and intelligence company developing integrated sensing hardware, satellites, analytics systems, and ground infrastructure for commercial and sovereign customers. The company’s platform includes AIRA, which connects space-based sensors with ground systems to deliver real-time orbital intelligence. Digantara is also developing dedicated satellite constellations for surveillance and missile warning, positioning itself at the intersection of commercial spacetech and national security applications. The newly raised capital will be used for global expansion beyond India and the United States, including entry into Europe, new manufacturing facilities for optical systems and satellite production, and a major expansion of research and development teams. Digantara is reportedly targeting deployment of 15 space surveillance satellites and two missile-warning satellites between 2026 and 2027, signaling aggressive scaling ambitions in an increasingly strategic market. As geopolitical priorities shift toward space security, sensing, and autonomous defense systems, Digantara is emerging as one of India’s most important deeptech players building critical infrastructure for the future space economy.
