Hyderabad-based spacetech startup TakeMe2Space has raised ₹5.5 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Seafund, with participation from Blume Ventures and others. The funds will be used to launch MOI-1, India’s first AI-laboratory in space, aimed at supporting over 15 early customers with their orbital applications. Founded by Ronak Kumar Samantray in 2024, the startup focuses on improving satellite applications and has completed two missions with ISRO. TakeMe2Space plans to expand its product portfolio, scale operations globally, and enhance domestic capabilities in areas like radiation shielding and inter-satellite communications.
