Software-defined LEO satellite constellation fusing precision navigation (PNT) and secure IoT communication for defence and commercial users
Sanyark Space (Sanyark Smart Technologies) is a Hyderabad deep-tech startup building a software-defined low Earth orbit constellation that combines positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) with secure IoT communication on one platform, which it calls NAV-COM. The pitch is resilient, centimetre-level positioning that survives GNSS jamming and spoofing, plus connectivity, for autonomous vehicles, drones, satellite-based road tolling, telecom/5G timing, smart infrastructure and defence, and sovereign navigation for India alongside NavIC. Its satellites use software-defined payloads, phased arrays and on-board edge AI. The roadmap it gave in June 2026: a first technology-demonstration satellite within about 12 months (navigation and defence payloads, with high-altitude-platform navigation demos first), a second NAV-COM demo mission in 2027, an initial 30-40 satellite constellation over India, the Middle East and South Asia around 2029-30, and a global 200-240 satellite constellation after that. Co-founders are CEO Raghava Kundrapu (ex-ISRO at SDSC SHAR, ex-Deloitte space-tech consultant, Masters' Union Cohort 3) and CTO Akhileshwar Reddy Peseke (ex-ISRO at SAC and ISRO HQ, GNSS/NavIC receiver and signal design, worked on the government GNSS tolling pilot). In September 2026 it raised a $2M pre-seed led by Avaana ($1.5M) and AUM Ventures ($500K) to develop the NAV-COM system and satellite technology.
