GalaxEye, a leading space-technology startup developing the world’s first SyncFused OptoSAR imaging satellite—and India’s largest privately built satellite—has signed a major partnership with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the commercial arm of the Department of Space. The agreement makes GalaxEye the first private Indian satellite operator to work with NSIL under a data reseller arrangement, reflecting growing trust in the company’s technology and long-term plans.
The partnership strengthens GalaxEye’s flagship initiative, Mission Drishti. Under the deal, NSIL will distribute GalaxEye’s full range of products, including its SyncFused OptoSAR data. These high-precision imaging solutions are designed to support sectors such as agriculture, disaster response, resource mapping, infrastructure planning, and environmental monitoring.
By working with NSIL, GalaxEye gains a wider platform to showcase its technology and the practical value of its satellite data. The collaboration also supports the Government of India’s Make in India initiative and highlights continued efforts to encourage private participation in the space sector.
“This agreement will help promote GalaxEye’s opto-SAR products and services globally,” said M Mohan, CMD of NSIL. “It also reflects the Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision of taking Indian space products and services to international markets.”
Suyash Singh, Co-founder and CEO of GalaxEye Space, added, “This partnership shows that India’s emerging private space sector is ready to scale commercially. Working with NSIL will help us deliver advanced Earth-observation capabilities to more users while supporting national priorities.”
Beyond business opportunities, the reseller arrangement represents a step forward for India’s space policy, encouraging closer cooperation between government agencies and private companies to boost innovation and global competitiveness. With this partnership, GalaxEye moves closer to building its planned ten-satellite constellation while providing advanced Earth-observation services for domestic and global applications.
Founded in 2021, GalaxEye is backed by investors including MountTech Growth Fund Kavachh, Mela Ventures, Speciale Invest, Infosys, Rainmatter, and Navam Capital. With Mission Drishti, the startup is poised to make India a frontrunner in the global Earth observation sector.
