With two successful ISRO-backed missions completed and ₹5.5 crore in fresh capital, TakeMe2Space is now focused on monetizing in-orbit AI computing, expanding to customers in India, Europe, and Australia.
TakeMe2Space, a SpaceTech startup pioneering AI-driven orbital computing, has raised ₹5.5 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Seafund, with participation from Blume Ventures, Artha Venture Fund, AC Ventures, and marquee angel investors. With this investment, TakeMe2Space is set to launch India’s first AI-powered space data center, moving satellite data processing from Earth to orbit to enable real-time AI execution in space.
Unlike traditional satellite imaging companies, TakeMe2Space is building an in-orbit AI computing infrastructure that eliminates the need for downlinking massive datasets to Earth. This shift is expected to accelerate decision-making across industries such as defense, climate science, precision agriculture, and telecommunications. The startup has already completed two successful missions in partnership with ISRO’s POEM platform, where it validated its AI execution capabilities and tested a novel radiation shielding coat designed to protect electronics in space from cosmic radiation.
TakeMe2Space is now scaling its MOI-1 AI Lab, an orbital AI computing module that allows businesses to run advanced data processing applications in space. The company has secured 15+ early customers for this service and is expanding to India, Europe, and Australia as part of its commercialization strategy.
Ronak Kumar Samantray, Founder and CEO of TakeMe2Space, emphasized the company’s long-term vision, stating, “We are not just launching satellites—we are transforming space into an intelligent computing environment. Our AI-powered lab in orbit is designed to handle complex data processing tasks in real-time, making satellite data more actionable than ever before.”
TakeMe2Space successfully demonstrated MOI-TD, an AI-powered experimental payload that allowed satellites to uplink large AI models from ground stations, execute external code, and securely downlink encrypted results. The mission also validated key satellite subsystems, including advanced sensors, actuators, and computing infrastructure, proving the feasibility of real-time AI computations in space.
Manoj Kumar Agarwal, Managing Partner at Seafund, highlighted the significance of this milestone, stating, “AI-driven in-orbit computing is the next frontier in SpaceTech. TakeMe2Space is building the infrastructure for real-time decision-making in space, a breakthrough that will redefine satellite applications.”
According to Invest India, India’s SpaceTech industry is expected to reach $77 billion by 2030, driven by private-sector innovations and increased global collaborations. TakeMe2Space is positioning itself at the center of this transformation by offering a scalable business model for AI computing in space, rather than just launching standalone satellite missions.
With its recent funding, TakeMe2Space aims to expand its operations, scale its AI-driven space lab across industries, and strengthen research in in-orbit AI applications. The startup’s revenue is projected to double in the next 12 months, reflecting strong demand for its space-based AI computing solutions.
As the global space industry moves toward a $1 trillion valuation by 2040, TakeMe2Space is ensuring that India remains at the forefront of AI-driven space research. With MOI-1, the company is proving that the future of computing is not just in the cloud, it’s in orbit.
