Bengaluru's Pixxel Teams Up With Sarvam To Build India's First Data Centre Satellite
Pixxel, a Bengaluru-based space technology startup, has partnered with AI firm Sarvam to develop India's first orbital data centre satellite, Pathfinder, expected to launch by Q4 2026. The satellite will feature datacenter-grade GPUs and hyperspectral imaging capabilities, enabling on-board analysis of high-resolution imagery.
Pixxel, a Bengaluru-based space technology startup, has announced a strategic collaboration with AI firm Sarvam to develop Pathfinder, India's first orbital data centre satellite. The 200 kg-class spacecraft is expected to reach orbit by Q4 2026. Pixxel will handle the satellite's design, construction, launch, and operations, while Sarvam will supply the artificial intelligence framework. The satellite will carry datacenter-grade Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Pixxel's hyperspectral imaging camera, enabling on-board analysis of high-resolution imagery. This will eliminate the need to transmit massive volumes of raw data back to Earth, cutting the gap between observation and actionable intelligence. The satellite will be built at Pixxel's upcoming Gigapixxel facility.
