QOSMIC

QOSMIC is building the Optical Highway to the Cosmos — end-to-end laser-based optical communication infrastructure that replaces legacy RF links for satellite-to-ground data transfer. Founded in 2025 in Bengaluru by Shreyaans Jain, Rohit Ramakrishnan, and Aloke Kumar, the company develops ARGUS (a deployable optical ground station receiving laser communications from LEO, MEO, and GEO satellites at 1–100 Gbps) and ZAPHOD (a compact satellite optical terminal). QOSMIC's infrastructure delivers 100x the throughput of RF at $1/GB data delivery cost with 70% lower infrastructure cost and no spectrum licensing requirements.
