Founded in November 2020 by Aridni Shah and Trisha Chatterjee in Bengaluru, immunitoAI operates at the intersection of biotechnology and AI. Its core product is a generative AI platform that creates entirely new antibody sequences for any target antigen, shrinking discovery timelines from four–five years to roughly 11–12 months. The company maintains an in-house wet lab to validate and test the computer-generated antibodies. immunitoAI plans to earn revenue through three channels: selling proprietary antibody IP, undertaking custom antibody development projects for pharmaceutical clients, and eventually offering end-to-end drug development as a fully integrated pharma company. The startup is currently pre-revenue, but management projects that a single custom-developed antibody could fetch about USD 300 million plus royalties. By reducing discovery costs and timelines by more than 50%, the platform aims to accelerate targeted therapies for diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. The newly raised capital will fund the development of trial-ready antibodies for specific diseases, advancing the company toward commercialization.

TakeMe2Space is a Hyderabad-headquartered space-tech startup that is turning satellites into shared, programmable compute infrastructure for researchers and enterprises. Its flagship product, OrbitLab, allows users to upload and execute AI models on-orbit, paying only for the processing time they consume. The company launched its first major satellite, MOI-1, in 2026 and is now working toward a constellation of six networked spacecraft that will deliver roughly 5 kW of in-orbit compute capacity and inter-satellite communications. Proceeds from the current financing will fund R&D for next-generation computer satellites, expand partnerships with ground-station and AIT providers, and scale its presence across India, the United States, and Australia. Management also plans to grow the team from 17 to about 60 employees across engineering and global sales. By transforming satellites into orbital data centers, TakeMe2Space aims to offer customers near real-time edge computing in space, dramatically lowering the barrier to orbital experimentation and deployment. No revenue or user figures were disclosed in the article.
