Company overview
Agnikul Cosmos at a glance
Agnikul Cosmos was founded in Chennai in 2017 by Srinath Ravichandran and Moin SPM and was incubated at IIT Madras. The company is developing launch vehicles for small satellites. Its main orbital rocket platform is called Agnibaan and is designed to support different payload and mission requirements. Agnikul has also developed Agnilet, a semi-cryogenic rocket engine manufactured as a single piece using 3D-printing technology. In 2024, the company successfully launched its Agnibaan SOrTeD technology demonstrator from its private launchpad at Sriharikota. Agnikul aims to provide dedicated launches for smaller satellites rather than requiring customers to share space on a much larger rocket. Its business therefore combines rocket design, engine manufacturing, launch infrastructure and commercial satellite-launch services.
