Mr. Ankit Bhateja highlighted the critical role of cost-effective satellites and their data. He explained how this data enables real-time monitoring and 18-20 hour predictions, assisting farmers

Mr. Ankit Bhateja highlighted the critical role of cost-effective satellites and their data. He explained how this data enables real-time monitoring and 18-20 hour predictions, assisting farmers with drought warnings, enhancing naval navigation, and improving overseas logistics. This significantly reduces the economic and human toll of climate change.

As founder of Xovian, an aerospace startup, Mr. Bhateja develops a patented Passive RADAR Nano Satellite Constellation for 24/7 real-time earth surface monitoring, providing critical GIS data and predictions on oceans, extreme weather, and glaciers. He also inspires youth towards a technologically advanced India. We welcomed him to the third TEDxIIMSirmaur event, independently organized. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
