India has <200 satellites in orbit. The United States has 10,000 . This gap is partially due to launch capacity. Skyroot isn't commercialised yet. But another limitation is satellite manufacturing. Which is why Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space plans to make two satellites DAILY!

The world's best commercial MCED liquid biopsies detect early-stage cancer at just 25-30% accuracy. Then there's Dognosis, an Indian deeptech company. Their dogs detect all stages with >90% accuracy in Bengaluru (as published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology). Here's how.

🚨 Indian defencetech startup Armory is putting their indigenous anti-drone jammer system into production. After securing a ₹100 crore order from the Ministry of Defence, @ArmoryShield has built a one-acre factory in Gurugram to manufacture their modular C-UAS, SURGE.

🚨 Gurugram-based spacetech founder Shreyans Jain is building a rockoon system that carries launch vehicles 20 km above Earth's surface. His startup is called @celestial_aero.

Every wonder how Indian Railways inpects bedsheets? @SakarRobotics, a Pune-based robotics startup, has built an AI-powered machine that does exactly that. They've now deployed these machines across Pune, Jaipur, and Jodhpur, and will expand to other cities across India soon.

Most of India's drone motors come from China. In 2019, the founders of Vector Technics, @prudhvirajp Karna Raj, set out to change that in a 400 sq. ft. Hyderabad office. Today, @vectortechnics is India's largest indigenous drone motor manufacturer, producing 5k motors/month.

After Coimbatore, Delhi, and Bengaluru, Runtime will be hosting its fourth meetup of 2026 in Hyderabad! Please make sure to link your Luma to your X or LinkedIn so that we can learn more about you and approve your request to attend! luma.com/9ut2r2nb

Every four minutes, a worker dies in India due to unsafe working conditions. While enforcement of national occupational safety norms is one solution, <40% of Indian companies comply fully with these rules. Here's another solution: robots. Bengaluru-based Flo Mobility (@Flo_Mobility) just raised a $2.5M pre-Series A from Mela Ventures (@Mela_Ventures) and Arali Ventures to build the future of safe, compliant robotic construction automation. Their robots have: - Reduced workplace accidents by 30% - Moved 250,000 tonnes of material - 500 kg payload capacity per robot - Collectively traveled 50,000 km - Achieved 99.9% uptime We visited their HSR Layout facility to see how they're getting it done. 00:00 - Flo Mobility in a Nutshell 00:25 - Entering Flo Mobility’s Workshop 01:18 - Flo Mobility’s Early Prototype 02:42 - Flo Mobility’s Latest Robot 05:24 - The Importance of Data in Robotic Automation 06:14 - Testing Flo Mobility’s Robot Out 09:05 - Flo Mobility’s Current Field-Deployment Model 10:18 - The Flo Mobility Story 19:26 - Exploring Flo Mobility’s Robotics Stack 20:37 - What’s Next for Flo Mobility?

On Sunday, @GalaxEye's Mission Dristhti satellite successfully separated from SpaceX's Falcon 9. This is India's largest privately developed satellite, and it's also the first-ever satellite to combine MSI with SAR. We took a tour of their facility to see what it's like to be at the cutting edge of spacetech. 00:00 - GalaxEye's Origin Story with Co-Founder Kishan Thakkar (VP Engineering) 04:35 - Hands-on with Proprietary SAR Prototypes 11:14 - GalaxEye's Aircraft-Mounted SAR Prototype 16:41 - GalaxEye's PCB Lab 17:21 - The Stages of Building and Deploying a Satellite 22:45 - GalaxEye's POEM Launch 24:48 - GalaxEye's Mission Drishti Satellite 26:45 - Why Hasn't Anyone Else Done This? 29:56 - GalaxEye's S2O Foundation Model with Co-Founder Rakshit Bhatt (VP of Product) 36:57 - GalaxEye's World Model 38:16 - GalaxEye's Future Trajectory with Co-Founder Denil Chawda (CTO) 46:00 - India's Spacetech Industry with Co-Founder Suyash Singh (CEO)

Liftoff for Falcon 9 and @GalaxEye's Mission Drishti!

🚨 Chennai-based @DashagrivAero has successfully deployed and tested their high-altitude airship prototype, Megnath, off the coast of Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu.

The future of AI interfaces is being built on Hosur Road. A week ago, @ProjectMirageHQ launched their first AI interface, Dune. This was after ~5 months of R&D. We visited Project Mirage's Bengaluru facility to find out what it's like inside of an Indian consumer tech startup:

🚨 Water Robotics, founded by Teja Vinukollu, is building a robotic bed with 10,752 sensors and 42 actuators in Hyderabad. The bed, called CAMA, uses in-house AI models to sense, analyse, and adjust your position as you sleep.

Arctus Aerospace built the AX1 in 150 days. With a team of 10 people. It's a 200 kg Earth observation UAV that can fly for 10 hours at 20,000 feet. Here's Runtime's conversation with Shreepoorna S Rao, the founder of Arctus Aerospace.

Delhi-based @dpropulse is building India's first rotating detonation engine (RDE). This is the video to watch if you want to understand why that's a big deal, and why @SJha1618 and team are so well-poised to pull this off.

First look at the AX1 long endurance UAV from @arctusaerospace. Primary intended use case: Earth observation. 200 kg vehicle weight. Flies at 20,000 feet. 50 kg max payload. 10 hour flight time.

🚨 India's Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor has achieved criticality. In parallel, four Indian startups have been building into the liberalised nuclear vision outlined in the SHANTI Bill 2025. 1. @PranosFusion 2. Anubal Fusion 3. @hylenrtech 4. @YouthIyns Here's more info:

Ola Electric will begin integrating their new LFP 46100 cells into two-wheelers next quarter. What does that mean for Ola's customers though?

🚨 Hyderabad-based @FarmRobo7 has launched their all-new R1v2 made‑in‑India electric farm robot.
