Hyderabad, Sep 8, 2025: Anurag University has taken a significant step towards positioning itself at the forefront of space research and innovation by initiating collaboration with XDlinx Aerospace Labs, a Hyderabad-based space-tech start-up achieving remarkable milestones in the satellite sector, who has shown interest to sign an MoU with the university.
During a visit to XDlinx Aerospace Labs yesterday, the leadership team of the start-up showcased their cutting-edge innovations, including JANUS-1, India’s first software-defined nanosatellite developed in just 10 months and successfully launched aboard ISRO’s SSLV-D2 in February 2023. The company also highlighted the development of advanced satellite platforms such as the XDSAT-M600, a 150 kg-class satellite equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and multi-spectral sensors, alongside strategic partnerships to build India’s first private L-band SAR satellite.
The visit culminated in an agreement to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Anurag University and XDlinx Aerospace Labs. This collaboration will include student training, internships, and expert guidance for the development and launch of university-built satellites. The initiative is set to open new pathways for students and faculty to engage in hands-on satellite development and contribute to India’s growing space ecosystem.
Expressing gratitude for the achievement, Mr. Anurag Palla, Associate Vice-President of Strategy, Anurag University, said: “This collaboration marks a defining moment for our institution. It not only strengthens our academic and research capabilities but also places our students at the center of India’s rapidly evolving space-tech ecosystem. We sincerely thank our management, leadership team, and colleagues for their continuous support, with special appreciation to Dr. Abhiram (EEE Department) for facilitating this invaluable connection.”
With this partnership, Anurag University aims to become a strong player in the satellite and space technology domain, empowering students to take part in next-generation space missions.
