Hyderabad-based spacetech startup Dhruva Space, founded in 2012 by Sanjay Nekkanti, is building comprehensive full-stack space infrastructure spanning satellite manufacturing, launch integration, and ground station operations. Established well before formal private space sector regulations were implemented in India, the venture has capitalized on recent liberalization policies led by IN-SPACe and the Indian Space Research Organisation. Dhruva Space offers modular, scalable satellite platforms and end-to-end mission support for global commercial and institutional customers, solidifying India’s emerging role as a competitive international launchpad and manufacturing hub for advanced satellite systems and orbital payload delivery.
