Spacetech startup Trishul Space raises Rs 4 crore in round led by IAN Angel Fund
Trishul Space just rocketed into the limelight with a ₹4 crore pre-seed boost from IAN Angel Fund—proof that India’s private space sector is no longer just a government show. With turbopumps, AI-driven failure detection, and a plug-and-play engine model, Trishul isn’t just building rockets; it’s trying to make rocket science less rocket-science-y for everyone else. If they pull this off, expect a new wave of startups to launch faster, cheaper, and with a lot less sweat.
Trishul Space, founded in 2022 by Aditya Singh, Divyam, and Rajat Choudhary, is tackling one of the biggest bottlenecks in the space industry: propulsion development. By focusing on modular, liquid rocket engines powered by staged combustion cycles and AI, the startup aims to cut costs and timelines for both government and private launch vehicle manufacturers. Headquartered in Prayagraj and operating from IIT Delhi’s R&I Park, Trishul is strategically positioned to serve the global small and medium launch vehicle market, projected to exceed $15 billion by 2030. The investment from IAN Angel Fund, along with 8X Ventures and ITEL, underscores growing confidence in India’s deep-tech and space ecosystem.
