Spacetech startup Digantara has raised $50 million (around ₹454.4 crore) in its Series B funding round to scale up its space surveillance and situational awareness capabilities. The fresh capital will support the company’s plans to expand its global footprint and strengthen its technology and manufacturing base.
The funding round saw participation from a mix of domestic and international investors, including SBI Investments Co Japan, 360 ONE Asset, and entrepreneur Ronnie Screwvala. Existing investors Peak XV Partners and Kalaari Capital also joined the round, reaffirming their confidence in Digantara’s long-term growth strategy and technological roadmap.
Founded with a focus on space domain awareness, Digantara develops advanced solutions to track and monitor objects in Earth’s orbit, helping address the growing challenge of space debris and satellite safety. Its technology is increasingly relevant as satellite launches accelerate worldwide, raising the need for precise tracking, collision avoidance, and sustainable use of orbital resources.
Digantara said the newly raised capital will be used to drive expansion beyond its current markets in India and the United States. The company plans to enter additional international geographies as it works to build a truly global space surveillance network.
A significant portion of the funds will also be invested in setting up new manufacturing facilities, including dedicated units for optical systems and satellite production. This move is aimed at strengthening in-house capabilities, reducing dependency on external suppliers, and accelerating the deployment of its space-based and ground-based infrastructure.
In addition, Digantara plans to double the size of its global research and development teams over the next year. The expanded R&D effort will focus on enhancing data accuracy, improving sensor technologies, and developing next-generation space situational awareness solutions to serve commercial satellite operators, governments, and defence agencies.
With this Series B round, Digantara joins a growing list of Indian spacetech startups attracting large global investors, underlining rising confidence in India’s space innovation ecosystem and its potential to play a key role in the global space economy.
