Digantara Secures $50M, Shifts Focus to Defence & Missile Tracking

• Bengaluru-based Digantara raised $50 million in Series B funding to prioritize defence customers and missile tracking.
• CEO Anirudh Sharma stated the shift is due to the immature commercial space market, with governments being primary spenders.
• The company, initially focused on space situational awareness (SSA), is evolving to track all fast-moving objects, including hypersonic missiles.
• Digantara works with six defence customers globally and plans significant US expansion for "Made in America" capabilities.
• Funding will scale infrastructure, accelerate deployments, and launch a larger satellite constellation by late 2026.

Why It Matters: Digantara pivots to defence and missile tracking after $50M funding, citing commercial market immaturity.
