🚀 Defying Gravity: How an Engineering Dropout Launched a ₹100 Cr Space Tech Startup

In India’s ever-evolving startup landscape, few stories shine as brightly as that of EtherWing Aerospace — a Bengaluru-based space tech company founded in 2024 by a bold engineering dropout with a cosmic vision.
What began as a dream outside the classroom soon turned into a high-powered mission. Rather than following a conventional path, the founder cold-emailed ISRO scientists, seeking mentorship and insight into the world of aerospace. With curiosity as his rocket fuel and resilience as his thruster, he built a small but brilliant team of engineers, scientists, and tinkerers.
Today, EtherWing Aerospace is developing cutting-edge satellites, launch vehicles, drones, and space systems — all with a focus on affordability and indigenous innovation. Their modular approach to satellite building has gained attention not just in India, but globally.
In just 12 months, the company has soared to a valuation of ₹100 crore, becoming a rising star in India's space tech ecosystem. From conversations with ISRO to carving out their own orbital path, EtherWing is proving that you don’t need a degree to make an impact — just vision, grit, and audacity.
As India looks toward a new era of private space exploration, startups like EtherWing are set to redefine what's possible — one launch at a time.
