Pixxel and Sarvam Plan Orbital AI Satellite; India Considers Design Investment Rules; Kissht IPO Oversubscribed

Indian startups Pixxel and Sarvam are collaborating to develop Pathfinder, an orbital data centre satellite planned for launch by Q4 2026. This satellite aims to process AI workloads in space, reducing latency and bandwidth by analyzing data on orbit. Separately, the Indian government is considering new rules under the Electronic Component Manufacturing Scheme to mandate minimum design investments by electronics firms, encouraging a shift from assembly to design capabilities. Meanwhile, digital lending platform Kissht's IPO was oversubscribed 9.5 times during its three-day bidding period.
