Nine months ago, this did not exist. Today, India can build its own Fast Steering Mirror. QOSMIC’s FSM has cleared thermal vacuum and vibration qualification, both on the first attempt. The FSM is the fine-pointing core of every optical link: satellite to ground, satellite to satellite, ground to ground. It holds a laser locked on target while everything around it moves, making hundreds of tiny corrections every second. To put that precision in perspective: lay a grid over Rashtrapati Bhavan. From 500 km above your head, our FSM is designed to point a laser link at any single point on it. Only two or three suppliers worldwide build this class of hardware. So we built ours. From nothing to space-qualified in under a year. Built to survive launch. Now it waits for one 👀 #ICSO2026 #ICSO #NewSpaceIndia #OpticalCommunications #LaserCommunication @Jain_Shrey_ @RohitKR79 @aalokelab @shashank_huh @js_2606 @Accel @AccelAtoms @AccelIndia @spc_india @spc @artparkindia

Very few people in the world, know what it takes to take a company from '-1' to IPO. My next Minus One guest at South Park Commons Bangalore, does. He happens to be a current @spc_india community member, and the co-founder of Swiggy @nandanreddy He co-founded Swiggy with Sriharsha Majety and Rahul Jaimini, spent more than a decade there, took it through a public listing in 2024, and most recently led Crew, its AI concierge. Swiggy is a verb, if there ever was one, in the Indian ecosystem. I have lost count of how many times most of us use the word 'Swiggy it' in a day! And the journey to get there, is a real lesson on how to build something indispensable and undeniable, for all of Bharat. Can't wait to dig into his learnings in our chat, and also spend some time talking about our shared love of books, and certain kinds of content! RSVP on link below.

I have known both Sanjay Aggarwal and Puneet Agarwal for a while. @sanjayiitd, I knew earlier as a runner and an entrepreneur that I would go to for advice, as I was building my own startup. I was introduced to @reachpuneet because of Sanjay. We tried collaborating multiple times, but for some reason or the other, we could never formally get into a business collaboration. We tried doing it when I was building Upwardly, and then later at Scripbox, then again a little down the line at Angel One. Times change. But across all these interactions, I was consistently amazed at their quality of inputs, strategic clarity, and the force of their vision and conviction! In an interesting turn of events, when I joined @spc, I realised that we are on the Moneyvew cap table! So, us orbiting each other in the ecosystem, did converge at an unexpected (but well-aligned) point. Theirs has been an interesting story, 12 years in the making. To become one of the largest consumer credit platforms in India is nothing short of amazing. It is a hard market, and only the real ones survive. It has taken a lot of endurance and creativity for them to get here…and it shows us that the good guys can win big! Here’s to the next chapter of this incredibly inspiring story. Congratulations to Puneet, Sanjay and the Moneyview team, on the historic IPO!

Much has been said about cybersecurity, alignment and responsible building. As the technology moves underneath us, more will be said! None of us have clairvoyant certainty about the future. What we do know, is that it'll be like nothing we've seen before. That's why we need people like @snsf sharing their beliefs, and view of what is critical! Really enjoyed having him at @spc_india to talk about all this, and why building the right thing, matters now more than ever! Full Minus One episode is out now, shared below.
