Akashalabdhi is building ANTARIKSHAB, an expandable space habitat intended for orbital logistics, micro-gravity research, space habitation, and defense applications. Beyond the habitat, the company is engineering complementary systems such as inflatable solar arrays and other dual-use defense-grade technologies that can operate both on Earth and in orbit. The startup’s roadmap includes analogue studies and an orbital launch of its minimum viable product to validate the platform in space. Its mission is to place India at the forefront of orbital infrastructure by leveraging modular, inflatable technologies that reduce launch mass and cost. Akashalabdhi was incubated at the Foundation for Science, Innovation & Development (FSID) at the Indian Institute of Science and at TIDES, IIT Roorkee, and receives additional support from KickSky Accelerator. The new capital infusion provides runway to advance R&D and commence critical testing of its habitat and supporting systems. The company has not yet disclosed revenue or user metrics, as it remains in the product-development stage.
