Masterstroke by Mukesh Ambani as Reliance to invest Rs 4300000000 in Bengaluru-based startup, it deals in..., name is...
Mukesh Ambani (File) In a significant decision which could provide a major boost to India's growing spacetech industry, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries is mulling to invest $50 million (about Rs 430 crore) in Digantara Research & Technologies, a Bengaluru-based spacetech startup, which is developing technology that can track objects in the Earth's orbit. How much is Mukesh Ambani Reliance Industries investing? According to a report by The Economic Times, Reliance Industries, India's most valued domestic firm led by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, is in advanced discussions to lead a Rs 430 crore funding round in Digantara, along with existing investors like Peak XV Partners. 'Reliance has evaluated multiple startups in the spacetech segment. It is looking at companies building novel solutions in the sector. Its talks with Digantara are at an advanced stage,' the report quoted a source familiar with the matter as saying. What does Digintara do? Co-founded by Anirudh Sharma (CEO), Rahul Rawat (COO), and Tanveer Ahmed (CTO), Digintara is a spacetech startup based in Bengaluru, working on the development of technologies which can track bjects in Earth's orbit. Earlier, in March, Digintara launched a satellite capable of tracking debris as small as 5 cm, and is currently providing services to defence agencies in both India and the United States, as per the report. According to the report, Digintara plans to deploy a constellation of about a dozen surveillance satellites by the end of 2026. The company has launched three satellites so far, one of which is part of the proposed satellite constellation. A major chunk of the upcoming funding round will be dedicated in developing and launching these satellites. 'Given the volatility in global geopolitics, every country is focused on having its own indigenous sovereign solutions that can be controlled in times of crisis. That's where the opportunity lies for startups like Digantara,' the report quoted a source as saying. The company established a manufacturing and operations facility in the US in February 2024, and expects to earn a revenue of $25–30 million (Rs 220–260 crore) from its US operation in the next 2-3 years.

US tariffs should not be cause for disengaging from trade talks, blocs
The fundamental challenge for the Indian economy is to increase productivity and competitiveness premium Business Standard Editorial Comment Mumbai Listen to This Article The tariff rate of 25 per cent, which United States (US) President Donald Trump has decided will be applied to Indian exports to the US, may not, eventually, be the final rate. It may effectively wind up being higher if he carries out his threat to add a surcharge related to India's increasing purchases of Russian oil. It may be lower if New Delhi's negotiators pull some sort of a broader deal together. It is also worth remembering that there will be multiple exceptions to this headline tariff rate. Some goods that compose a large part of India-US trade —

Collaboration for future: Isro and India will benefit from Nasa
Artemis signup allows Isro and the fast-growing Indian aerospace sector to bid for Nasa tenders and the famously frugal Indian engineering sector could find opportunities there and pick up new skills Business Standard Editorial Comment Mumbai Listen to This Article The successful launch of the Nisar (Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre marks the second big mission where the two space agencies have joined hands, coming soon after gaganaut Shubhanshu Shukla travelled to the International Space Station on the Axiom 4 mission.
