Indian space technology startup Pixxel has raised $100 million in a Series C round led by Singapore state investor Temasek and British space-technology venture firm Seraphim, marking the largest single funding round by an Indian space technology company. The round also included existing investors Radical Ventures and growX Ventures, alongside new investors 360 ONE Asset and IMM Investment, taking Pixxel’s total funding to $195 million. Founded by Awais Ahmed, Pixxel emerged after India opened its space sector to private companies. It began with hyperspectral satellites, which capture information about Earth beyond conventional imagery, and has expanded into Aurora, its Earth intelligence software, and satellite systems for commercial and sovereign missions. The new capital will support expanded sensing capabilities through the Honeybee satellite constellation and high-resolution optical imaging satellites, while advancing Aurora’s ability to combine satellite datasets into decision-ready insights.
