InspeCity

InspeCity is an Indian space-tech startup founded in 2022 by IIT Bombay professor Arindrajit Chowdhury and his student Tausif Shaikh, building in-orbit satellite servicing, life-extension and deorbiting solutions. It develops vertically integrated technologies across propulsion, robotics, and RPOD (Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking), with a vision to lead the global ISAM (In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing) market from India.
