Our Mission
To make India a sovereign launch power — building reliable, affordable propulsion and dedicated small-satellite access to orbit, owned and engineered at home.
NAMBISPACE
NAMBISPACE
Built on Fire. Aimed at Stars.
India's first private space company — forged from the resilience of the scientist they tried to break, and aimed squarely at the cosmos.
Why Nambi
The Scientist Who Refused to Burn Out
In 1994, Nambi Narayanan stood at the edge of a breakthrough. The ISRO scientist had cracked liquid-fuel rocket propulsion — technology that would one day carry India to the Moon and Mars. Then, on fabricated charges of espionage, everything stopped.
He was arrested, humiliated, and watched 25 years of work dismantled in 50 days. The case was a lie. The Supreme Court would later clear his name and call his treatment a betrayal. In 2019, India honoured him with the Padma Bhushan.
NambiSpace is built in that spirit — the conviction that engineering brilliance and unbreakable resolve belong to India, and that the stars are still within reach.

Technology
Engineered to Reach Orbit
Liquid Propulsion
High-efficiency liquid-fuel engines descended from the propulsion breakthroughs Nambi Narayanan pioneered — precise, restartable, and built for repeatable performance.
Isp 311s · LOX/RP-1 · 980 kNCryogenic Upper Stage
A homegrown cryogenic upper stage burning liquid hydrogen and oxygen to deliver the high-energy push that places heavier payloads into demanding orbits.
LH2/LOX · 20K · Isp 451sDedicated SmallSat Launch
A responsive small-satellite launcher offering dedicated rides, custom orbits, and rapid turnaround for operators who refuse to wait for a rideshare.

Joins ISRO
A young Nambi Narayanan joins the Indian space programme, drawn to the audacious idea that India could build rockets of its own.
1969
Princeton Scholarship
Wins a scholarship to Princeton University, mastering rocket propulsion under the legendary Luigi Crocco in under a year.
1970s
Liquid Fuel Bet
Champions liquid propulsion when ISRO favoured solid fuel — a contrarian bet that would define India's heavy-lift future.
1980s
Vikas Engine
Leads the team that delivers the Vikas engine, the liquid-fuel workhorse still powering India's PSLV and GSLV rockets today.
1994
The False Accusation
Arrested on fabricated espionage charges. Twenty-five years of propulsion work are torn apart in fifty devastating days.
1996
CBI Clears Him
The CBI finds the spy case baseless. The charges were invented; the science and the man were never in doubt.
2019
Padma Bhushan
India awards him the Padma Bhushan, and the Supreme Court condemns his persecution — vindication after decades of struggle.
2022
Rocketry on Screen
His story reaches millions through the film 'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect,' cementing him as a symbol of resilience.
2024
The Spark for NambiSpace
His legacy lights the fuse: NambiSpace is founded to carry Indian propulsion into a new private-space era.
Why India Needs This
The Window Is Open Now
India launches at a fraction of global cost, with a deep bench of engineering talent and surging demand for orbit. The world needs reliable, affordable access to space — and India is positioned to provide it. NambiSpace exists to seize that moment.
