DARE - Because Entrepreneurs Do

Product: Satellite launch services
Brand: Earth2Orbit
Industry: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
Location: Mumbai, Bangalore, San Francisco, Vienna

This one-year-old Company is an interesting one, being India’s first private space startup. Interesting because space exploration and satellite launch are government-owned and government managed areas in the country. So, this service company provides an integrated business window to ISRO's marketing arm Antrix Corporation. Their business focus is in four verticals namely commercialization of Indian space technology; human space systems and private spaceflight; satellite manufacturing and consulting. Future plans include selling the earth observation data products from India's fleet of remote sensing satellites in the US market, and later plan to design and manufacture satellites, assist ISRO with its human spaceflight program, conduct novel science-related experiments in space, and develop space tourism and parabolic flights within India.
