The world has time and again witnessed college startups making it big in their respective sectors. Bangalore based TSC Technologies also has a similar story to tell. TSC’s journey began when its founding team, a group of students, started working on their idea to develop nanosatellites while they were still students at a university. The company offers its technology to students at the universities to enable them to build smaller and lighter satellites and also sets up a dedicated satellite ground station in the university campus. In an industry where several new age startups are focused on building these complex satellites, the team at TSC takes pride in making such a technology accessible to students, making it possible for them to realize their dreams.

TSC Technologies truly stands out owing to its technological capabilities and the ability to empower students to not only build satellites but also launch them into the space. The company’s Founding Director and CEO, Nikhil Riyaz goes on to talk about the company’s journey so far and the various solutions it brings to the market.

What led to the inception of TSC Technologies?
Our journey started while we were still at the university working on different projects. Our consistent efforts aimed at designing complex systems like satellites better than the regular market standards there after brought us opportunities both at national and international levels. With time, we started multitasking across various disciplines and evolved into a private limited company to make a mark in the Space sector. Ever since, TSC has continuously been working on enabling

students and universities to build satellites and setting up a dedicated satellite ground station in the university campus.

Walk us through the different solutions and services delivered by TSC Technologies?
We offer end-to-end services to enable the universities, colleges, schools, and private companies/institutions to support their students in realizing their dream of not only just building a satellite but also launching it into space. Our team extends complete launch support for clients right from registering frequency until deployment of the satellite in space.

innovations to the field of satellite communication technology in order to revolutionize the existing standard methods of operations in this segment. Through the credibility we developed in this market during the R&D we did, and the UNITYsat Missions, we along with Indian Technology Congress Association, have been able to realize our major project. This project has been in the works since 2018 and has now turned into a national mission known as ‘75 Students’ Satellites: Mission 2022’.
