SkyServe

SkyServe (operating entity: Hyspace Technologies Private Limited) is a Bengaluru-based in-space AI and edge computing company founded in June 2020 by Vinay Simha, Vishesh Vatsal, and Adithya K — all alumni of Team Indus, India's first private lunar rover programme. SkyServe's mission is to transform passive Earth observation satellites into intelligent, autonomous Smart Satellites by enabling AI model deployment and data processing directly onboard the spacecraft.

The company's platform reduces reliance on costly ground downlinks by processing raw sensor data at the edge — in orbit — before transmitting only actionable insights to Earth. This slashes data volumes, cuts latency, and enables real-time applications such as dark ship detection, illegal mining alerts, oil spill monitoring, methane emissions tracking, and crop stress identification. SkyServe has demonstrated its technology in partnership with D-Orbit, Loft Orbital, SatRev, and NASA JPL across missions named Matterhorn, Denali, and K2.

SkyServe offers two core platform products: STORM (an orbital OS and middleware layer for AI orchestration onboard satellites) and SURGE (a browser-based Smart Satellite Builder for developing, testing, and deploying AI models in orbit). The company has been recognised as ESA Phi-Sat 2 Orbital AI Challenge winner, Startup of the Year 2024, Most Innovative Vertical AI Startup 2025, and ranks in the Global Top 100 Geospatial Companies 2024.
