INDIA: Moon Mission: Giant leap for startup
If Team Indus succeeds in its venture, it would be the first time India would be soft-landing a craft on the Moon.
BENGALURU: The Indian startup attempting to soft-land a craft on the Moon has just won funding from a host of bigwigs in the venture capital, technology and startup ecosystem, and accolades from some of India's leading space scientists.
The startup — Team Indus, founded by IIT-Delhi alumnus Rahul Narayan and four others — was earlier this year placed among the top contenders for the Google Lunar XPrize, the grand global competition to land a robotic spacecraft on the Moon by December next year and for which 18 teams are in the race. Team Indus is the only one from India, and is competing against much more established and well-funded teams.
