Pixxel, a spacetech startup based in India, is collaborating with AI firm Sarvam to create an orbital data centre satellite named Pathfinder, which is targeted for launch in Q4 2026. This innovative satellite will carry data centre-grade GPUs and AI models, enabling processing of AI workloads directly in space. This approach aims to significantly reduce latency and bandwidth requirements by analyzing data in orbit rather than sending it back to Earth. The satellite will also include hyperspectral imaging capabilities for real-time environmental monitoring and resource management. This initiative is part of India's broader strategy to enhance space-based computing, leveraging solar energy and improving data sovereignty. In a related development, fintech companies including Razorpay and Cashfree are flocking to Gift City, located in Gujarat, to capitalize on new opportunities for cross-border payments. The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) has issued licenses that allow these firms to create multi-currency wallets, enabling exporters to receive payments in foreign currencies without immediate conversion to Indian rupees. This shift highlights the growing importance of Gift City in facilitating international financial transactions.
