Deepinder Goyal's LAT Aerospace Acquires Defence Robotics Startup Sharang Shakti

Deepinder Goyal's LAT Aerospace has acquired Gurugram-based defence robotics startup Sharang Shakti as part of its strategy to build indigenous defence capabilities alongside developing next-generation civil aviation platforms in India. Goyal emphasized that core technologies like autonomy, sensing, navigation, and control systems overlap between defence and civil aviation. The acquisition marks LAT Aerospace's first step toward integrating these technologies in-house for both sectors. Goyal recently stepped down as CEO of Eternal to focus on higher-risk ventures like this aerospace initiative.
