GalaxEye, an Indian space technology startup building Earth Observation capabilities through its proprietary OptoSARTM technology, has acquired StarOps, a Bengaluru-based spacecraft engineering company that traces its origins to TeamIndus, an Indian private space venture. Incorporated in 2022, StarOps was established to develop satellite platforms and indigenize critical spacecraft technologies in India. The integration adds a strong portfolio of indigenous spacecraft technologies and engineering know-how to GalaxEye. “By welcoming this exceptional team and their technologies into GalaxEye, we are significantly strengthening our capabilities across satellite engineering,” Suyash Singh, Co-founder & CEO, GalaxEye, said. “My journey in space began at TeamIndus, where I learned to build missions from first principles — from developing the technology to bidding for global space agency contracts,” Nirmal Suraj Gadde, Co-founder & Missions Lead, StarOps, said.
