SeedHyderabadFounded 2024
- Cosmoserve Space is a Hyderabad spacetech startup building spacecraft that repair, refuel and clear dead satellites and debris from orbit
- It closed a $6 million seed round with Japan's Rebright Partners joining earlier backers, lifting total funding above $9 million, and opened its Base 1 facility
- The new site has robotics, clean room and mission control labs, and the firm sources about 60 per cent of mission parts locally

Terms in this story
- Startup: A startup is a young company built to find a new way of doing something and to grow fast, usually by serving many customers at little extra cost. India also has a legal definition for scheme benefits: under ten years old, turnover under ₹200 crore, and working on innovation or a scalable model.
- Funding stage: Startups raise money in steps called funding stages: pre-seed, seed, Series A, B, C and later, ending in a listing or a sale. Each step is larger and asks for more proof. In India, Series A rounds run from a few million dollars to about $15 million, as of November 2026.
- Seed round: Pre-seed and seed are the first money a startup raises from outside investors. The difference is how much has been built when the cheque arrives: pre-seed backs an idea or prototype, usually with a cheque under ₹5 crore, while seed backs an early product and runs from a few crore rupees to a few million dollars.
