Inbound Aerospace raises $1 mn pre-seed round led by Speciale Invest
Inbound Aerospace, a space technology startup incubated by Indian Institute of Technology Madras, has raised more than $1 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Speciale Invest and participation from Piper Serica. The company is developing autonomous and reusable re-entry vehicles for in-orbit experiments, microgravity experiments, and commercial space research. It was founded by Aravind I B, Vishal Reddy, and Abhijit Bhutey in 2025. Inbound will use the funding for developing re-entry spacecraft, 'validating key sub-systems, and achieving critical design review milestones', it said. The company's technology is 'uniquely positioned' for microgravity infrastructure as the International Space Station (ISS) nears decommissioning in 2030. (Microgravity is not a complete absence of gravity, but rather a state of continuous freefall, commonly experienced by astronauts and equipment aboard orbiting spacecraft.) 'Microgravity environments are extremely hard to recreate on Earth. Our spacecraft is designed to enable cost-effective, repeatable, and safe return of payloads conducting in-orbit experiments and manufacturing — a capability that's critical to unlocking the next wave of growth in the space economy,' said Aravind, cofounder and chief executive officer of Inbound Aerospace. 'We believe re-entry vehicles will become foundational infrastructure for the microgravity economy. Inbound's deep technology ambition spanning autonomy, material science, and systems engineering is bold and timely. We're backing this team because they are not just thinking of access to space, but access back from space, which is equally critical for a sustainable orbital economy," said Vishesh Rajaram, Managing Partner at Speciale Invest. This marks Speciale Invest's sixth investment in space tech, reinforcing its position as a leading early-stage investor in India's new-space movement. With the Government of India's Bio3E policy (2024) and the growing interest in space-enabled pharma, biotech, and material science research, Inbound's re-entry vehicles could become key enablers of in-orbit experimentation and commercial-scale manufacturing. Inbound was the only Indian finalist at Japan's S-Booster 2025, a prestigious space-business idea competition hosted by the cabinet office of Japan. It aims to launch its first re-entry multi-use variable-gravity platform mission by the first quarter of 2028.

Top Gainers and Losers on July 23: MRPL, OLA, Castrol India, Gland Pharma, SCI among top gainers today
Indian equities closed Wednesday's trade higher, supported by gains in large banking heavyweights and a rebound in Reliance Industries after a four-day slump, which helped the front-line indices to end the session with gains of over 0.50%. After witnessing lackluster activity earlier, the Nifty rose 0.7% to 25,230 points, while the S&P BSE Sensex surged 0.72% to 82,777 points. However, broader markets remained mixed, as weakness in the small-cap segment persisted. The Nifty Smallcap 100 index closed flat, while the Nifty Midcap 100 index managed to end the session with a 0.3% gain. Global sentiment improved after President Trump announced a 'massive' trade deal with Japan, stating the U.S. would impose 15% reciprocal tariffs, lower than the previously threatened 25%, while Japan would open its markets to more U.S. goods. The agreement follows similar deals with the Philippines and Indonesia, lifting hopes for further agreements before the August 1 deadline. However, the prospects of an interim trade deal between India and the U.S. have dimmed, with talks deadlocked over tariff cuts on key agricultural and dairy products, according to Reuters, citing two Indian government sources. While the potential trade deal with the US has been extending, India and the UK are set to sign a free trade agreement on Thursday during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's UK visit, which is expected to boost bilateral trade. Meanwhile, overseas investors continue to pull funds from Indian exchanges. So far in July, they have sold Indian stocks worth ₹ 22,185 crore, although they remain invested in the primary markets—an indication that they view valuations in the secondary market as stretched. However, the sell-off has had little impact on the Indian stock market, as sustained buying by domestic institutional investors, particularly mutual funds, has cushioned the impact of FPI outflows and helped the market stay afloat. The June quarter earnings season has remained subdued so far, indicating pressure on toplines due to weak demand, even as softer input costs and tighter cost controls supported bottom-line performance.
