About Xovian Aerospace

Founded in 2019 by Ankit Bhateja and Raghav Sharma, Xovian is building an AI-powered "RF intelligence infrastructure." With this full-stack approach, it aims to create its own RF satellites and use AI to turn RF signals into real-time insights.

Xovian says it has developed its radio-based hardware in-house, which is now ready to be launched into space. Since it started, the startup has been building this technology with support from grants provided by the Department of Telecommunications, Department of Science and Technology, and IIM Udaipur.

Co-founder Bhateja said that real-time data can benefit many industries—like maritime, aviation, BFSI, defense, and climate tech—by helping them track assets and understand local geographical challenges.

Xovian plans to start customer pilots and data trials in 2026. According to Bhateja, the startup is already in discussions with enterprises in Southeast Asia, India, and the Middle East to join the pilot program next year.
