Agnikul Cosmos is a pioneering space technology venture developing state-of-the-art orbital-class micro satellite launch vehicles. Operating out of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, the startup is designing Agnibaan, a highly customizable, 3D-printed rocket engine capable of carrying payloads up to 100 kg to low Earth orbits. Agnikul's core distinction lies in its proprietary semi-cryogenic engine, Agnilet, which is constructed entirely as a single piece of hardware using advanced metal 3D printing. The company raised over $40M from leading deep-tech and space-tech institutional investors, positioning itself as a core infrastructure builder in India's privatized aerospace push. In H1 2026, the company successfully validated its launch authorization pathways, securing contracts for commercial small-satellite deployment alongside national space initiatives.
