GalaxEye is Indian headquartered space tech startup and first Indian HQ startup to send the Satellite in the orbit soon. GalaxEye is building the worlds first multi-sensor imaging satellite, The Drishti Mission. These indigenously built satellites will enable governments, defense, and industries to perform advanced state-of-the-art geospatial analyses. GalaxEyes Drishti mission has a unique multi-sensor capability that brings intuitive all-time, all-weather imagery from space, even during night time and cloud cover. The Drishti Mission is currently in progress and is scheduled to launch into space. Access to our image dataset will prove to be user-friendly for analysts and consumers, unlocking a plethora of opportunities and benefits, both known and unknown in the current scenario. GalaxEye is an IIT Madras-incubated space tech startup. It was founded by a team of 5 students/alumni from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, who have previously worked together as part of Team Avishkar Hyperloop, a student competition team. They were selected as the only Asian finalist at the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition 2019, hosted by Elon Musk.

Pantherun is an Indian cyber security innovator that has developed a patented data protection algorithm to transforms security for data throughputs of up to 10 Gbps, using an implementation of AES encryption in real-time that eliminates the vulnerabilities associated with key exchanges. This is ideally suited to work both on Edge devices as well as on the cloud. What is unique and why is it difficult to breach Unlike methods like SSL/TLS, IPSec, MACSec and their adaptations to vertical segments that are prevalent today, the Pantherun encryption, based on the Industry standard AES, makes no change in data format and requires no clear-text handshaking exchanges to communicate keys or encryption methodology, thus providing no clues to listeners on the network on what type of encryption such as AES/RC4 is used, how many bits length of key (128/256) or even (384/512 for post-quantum protection) is used, or the method by which the key is generated. As there is no need for key exchanges of any kind, this makes breaches harder due to the complete lack of clues to the listener. This is enabled using an AI defined key generation process, where a key is computed for every transmission between a particular source and destination, based on running a statistical correlation algorithm that finds a unique FIPS compliant key from 65K bytes of past data exchanged between them. Thus a unique key, specific to each packet between a source and destination, is used to encrypt packets. This algorithm running on the same 65K set of past data on both the source and destination, independently generates a unique key at both ends, that is then used in the source to encrypt data and in the destination to decrypt data. Pantherun provides this technology both as Verilog IP that can go into silicon or FPGAs, as well as a minimal code software library that can go into products running Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or RTOS.

“The speed at which technology is advancing is unprecedented. … India, with its rich potential, must not just catch up but lead in shaping the technological landscape of tomorrow.” - Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairperson of the World Economic Forum The growth narrative of India excites us! By 2030, its GDP will have doubled to US$7 trillion thanks to several structural reforms and policy-driven improvements as well as natural demographic advantages. The pathways for sustainable growth have already been laid by the rapid growth of the physical and digital infrastructure, the energy transition, the fast “financialization”, and a robust start-up eco-system. Amid the evolving geopolitical order characterized by supply chain vulnerabilities and other conventional or unconventional strategic challenges, the nation must construct moats to safeguard its aspirations. India will, therefore, need to rapidly shift its dependence towards local innovation and indigenization of critical technologies, products, and services, particularly in areas of strategic and national importance. A Category II AIF, MGF-Kavachh is committed to nurturing promising start-ups working at the intersection of innovation, deep technology, and India’s “Atmanirbhar” agenda while solving for its strategic needs across multiple sectors like Security, Defence & Aerospace, Digital Communications.
