Signatur Biosciences makes precision diagnostics more accessible, starting by bringing breast cancer testing within reach for women around the world. Traditional tests used to guide therapy are slow and expensive due to their reliance on complex, centralized facilities. Our tests are designed to seamlessly integrate with standard instruments and workflows already in place in every clinical lab. Our assays empower local labs to deliver results in hours instead of weeks and at a fraction of the cost, significantly increasing accessibility, including for underserved patient populations.

We are an Indian space-tech company specialising in green propulsion systems. Founded by IIT Bombay alumni, the company provides full-stack manoeuvrability solutions for modern satellite missions and kick-stages of launch vehicles. The rapid increase in satellite launches is significantly raising the risk of in-orbit collisions, making reliable propulsion essential for maneuvering and end-of-life de-orbiting. However, existing systems rely on toxic fuels like hydrazine, which are expensive to handle, require complex ground infrastructure and create operational challenges. Manastu addresses this with a hydrogen-peroxide based green propulsion system that is safer, cost-efficient and designed for rapid integration, enabling agile maneuvering, collision avoidance and sustainable satellite operations at scale. Manastu Space combines flight heritage, early international contracts, and a globally relevant, scalable propulsion solution, positioning it strongly for export readiness and rapid expansion across key space markets. From space-qualified hardware on ISRO missions to strategic defense collaborations, Manastu Space is committed to safe satellite missions while reducing the environmental footprint of space exploration. With a team of 100+ experts and a legacy of innovation in high temperature catalyst, green propellant and advanced combustion chamber, spanning 9 years, we are propelling the next generation of sustainable space missions.
