The new face of Indian Space: XDLINX Rewrites the Playbook
Hyderabad-based XDLINX Space Labs, led by engineer and founder Rupesh Gandupalli, is reimagining how India builds satellites — compact, modular, and 75% indigenously designed. The company’s latest designs promise lighter, more costeffective spacecraft that can serve both commercial and scientific missions without depending on foreign components. By integrating design thinking with aerospace engineering, they’re treating satellites as ecosystems, not just hardware — signalling a new era of Swadeshi innovation in India’s space story.
