Building a Spacetech Startup from India | Prateep Basu | TEDxIIST Trivandrum

The talk highlights the entrepreneurial journey of turning an idea into a successful company, focusing on the ups and downs along the way and the strategies for overcoming challenges. It begins with the initial phase where the founders identify a gap or problem in the market. For instance, Preteep Basu, co-founder of SatSure, recognized the untapped potential of satellite imagery in agriculture and financial services. This sparked the idea to create a solution that leverages data and analytics for better decision-making. Preteep Basu is the co-founder and CEO of SatSure, a deep-tech startup that leverages satellite data and advanced analytics to provide decision intelligence solutions across various sectors, including agriculture, financial services, infrastructure, and climate action.
Founded in 2017, SatSure has its roots in the space science and technology sector, with Basu and his co-founders being alumni of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) and ISRO. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
