QOSMIC develops laser-based optical communications infrastructure for space, including ground stations and satellite terminals. The company has field-validated its full optical communication stack over a 10-kilometre terrestrial link and has secured its first commercial deployment with TakeMe2Space. Founded in 2025 by three founders who returned to India after careers abroad, QOSMIC is based in Bengaluru. Following its $3.33 million seed raise led by Accel and Prosus Ventures, the company plans to deliver operational ground stations and satellite terminals to international customers and expand its engineering team. Accel highlighted the technology as faster, more secure, and far cheaper than existing radio-frequency systems.
