The EO Report: Value Chain, Opportunity and Where India is Headed
We’re excited to share that our portfolio company, Digantara, has raised a $50 million Series B round.

We congratulate Anirudh, Tanveer and Rahul and the entire Digantara team on this incredible milestone. Since our seed investment in 2021, the team has demonstrated deep commitment to their core mission – making space more accessible and building a comprehensive space situational awareness & surveillance platform.

About 90% of India's Obvious Geological Potential is unexplored. Only 22% of Indian farmers have crop insurance. And India still depends on foreign satellites for a substantial share of its defense intelligence.

All three of these problems have the same solution: Earth Observation.

We spent months going deep on the EO sector and put together everything we found in one report.

The market sits at $6B today but the industries EO is being embedded into, agriculture, defense, maritime, climate, minerals, represent over $80B in annual addressable spend. The surface has barely been scratched.

For India specifically, the timing is right. Government anchor demand is de-risking early market creation. ISRO has a 119-mission roadmap through 2037. And in August 2025, a startup-led consortium signed India's first PPP contract for a 12-satellite constellation.

The full value chain, from sensors in orbit to decisions on the ground, is open for founders to build on.
