A co-founder of Indian cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX has launched Astrobase, a Bengaluru-based deeptech and aerospace startup. Unlike many Indian spacetech startups that focus primarily on the cab-to-space model of small and inexpensive launch vehicles for miniature satellites, Astrobase aims to develop complex, high-thrust rocket engines. The venture enters India's expanding private space technology ecosystem, which is seeing increasing interest from seasoned tech entrepreneurs looking to build foundational hardware and propulsion technologies for heavy-payload space exploration and commercial orbital deployment missions across global commercial markets.
