This is severely underrated. ISRO is working on nuclear powered systems. If ISRO cracks this - it will be able to keep the electronics on its spacecraft alive for years if not decades. Even if there is no sun. Because right now, we are using solar panels for this.

Okay now that all the AI hype is done - it's time for space tech startups to get their air time on X. As Skyroot prepares for its first commercial flight, Agnikul is right behind them. Can't wait for their launches to be a mundane event. It's going to be a gamechanger.

This is the startup that LAT Aerospace just acquired - Sharang Shakti - the one that's capable of shooting down a drone from the air. That's not a pivot anyone was expecting from Deepinder. But...not totally unexpected. India spends $81B in defense procurements

Prithvi literally kickstarted my career. He got me interested in startups with The Indian Wire. Everything I learnt about YouTube was thanks to Backstage with Millionaires. And now, he is building Finanjo. Can't wait to see where this one goes.

This is indian engineering at its finest. Oh and btw they are also building an autonomous version of their ATV - which will have a drone attached to it and robotics arms to assist in farming. Indian startups are doing crazy innovations.

Swiggy just launched Toing. Think of Toing like the cheaper-version of Swiggy built for GenZ (that's the vibe of the app). But the funny thing about Toing is that Swiggy calls it an innovation. And what's the innovation? - ₹0 Packaging Fee - ₹0 Platform Fee

Ather was born at IIT Madras - it changed how India travels on roads. Now, we have The ePlane Company from IIT Madras - which wants to change the way India travels in air. And IIT Madras is changing how India builds for the future.

Here's what everyone missed - this robot is operated by a HUMAN. And this isn't new. Here's an INDIAN startup achieving the same precision. But with a much BORING visual. Indian startups don't have an innovation problem. They have a storytelling problem.

Okay, this is crazy. Now, imagine storing 43,000 times that data in just 1 gm of DNA. Yup, that's exactly what this Indian startup is trying to do. It's insane.

GalaxEye is about to pull off something the world has never done before. It will be able to give us clear images of Earth. Be it day or night. Or weather its cloudy or sunny outside. And they've pulled it off with $14 million. And they are just getting started.

Anna's Archive is being sued for $13000000000000 (umm, that's $13 Trillion) by Spotify (+three big music groups). AA's latest domain is down. But they have a new one. It feels like we are approaching the end of free internet. And everything on the internet is now paid.

IIT Madras has done it again. This is DHARANI - world's most detailed 3D image of a fetal human brain. It was done at 1/10th of the cost of similar projects globally. It's publicly accessible. And it could fundamentally change the way we study brain development and diseases.

This is AVATAAR - India's first amphibious drone. And this can only go about 50m underwater. But AquaAirX has also built NEXOR - which is an autonomous underwater drone capable of going upto 1 km underwater. Making it perfect for deep ocean inspections. Incredible stuff.
